Details of Incident:
I would like to submit this detailed report of a sighting that took place on Wednesday, September 3,
1997. Because what I saw was so unusual, I have taken the time to document the details of the event
so as to provide serious UFO researchers with accurate information.
Description Of Sighting
I had just returned home and was standing in my driveway to look up at the stars before entering the
house. It was a very clear, moon less night and the stars were very bright. As I was looking up at
constellations in the east, a moving triangular object caught my eye. I turned and watched as it
glided swiftly across the sky in front of me. What made it visible were neon-like strips of
blue-green light that traced the outer edges of the craft. I was amazed at how the light wrapped
around the pointed nose and the two back corners. There were also strips of this blue-green light
along the side and back. There were no other lights but these on the craft. The lights glowed dimly
and had there been a full moon or bright city lights near by, I doubt that it would have been visible.
Although I could not make out the details of the objects surface, the fact that the light strips
traced the outline of a long triangular object was unmistakable. The changing perspective of the
outline of light as it traversed the night sky was also consistent with a three dimensional object.
The night was very quiet and no sound was detectable. I watched until it went behind a tree that
blocked it from view as it continued in a north eastern direction. This UFO was traveling very fast
in a straight line at a low altitude.
Conditions
Clear, moon less, quiet, no wind
Size & Position
Judging by the altitude and appearance, I would estimate the craft was at least as long as a bus or
larger. The altitude was much lower than that a commercial jet. Its position in the sky was about a
45 degree angle from my position on the ground.
Speed
Much faster that a commercial jet. I would not say that it "shot" across the sky, but that it glided
swiftly.
Direction of Travel
It came from the south west and continued traveling in a north eastern direction.
Sound
Silent, no sound detected.
Location of Sighting
Suburban, residential, at edge of town, no street lights, dark skies.
Best Regards,
Mike E.
Since I posted this account, I received the following message from Mike:
"Just wanted to pass along some of the e-mail I have received from the web sight.
Hi Mike,
My sister is not here right now, but the picture you drew was very similar to one she drew for us. The thing my sister saw was so close that she could probably see a lot more detail than you did, so what looked like strips of light to you from that distance could possibly have been the same tiny lights that she saw. She said she could see a set of folded tripod-type legs on the underside and could even see the seams in the metal and something like rivets holding it together. I wish it had been me w ho had seen it. I've always wanted to see something like that...
Well, I may draw a picture of Rachel's UFO soon and if I do, I'll send it to you.
Laresa
Hope to hear more from you, Laresa,"
