I believe buried somewhere way back in this thread is my account of a UFO encounter, but since it has been a couple of years ago, I'll restate, briefly my experience. Sitting in my living room my Mom and I were watching tv. Our living room was surrounded on 3 sides by very tall, floor to ceiling windows solid all the way around. I first saw this huge, about 50' around, very solid, very intensly white bright orb and then watched it go all around outside my living rm windows, maybe 150' away...so very, very close. I watched it until it just 'blinked out' above my barn which was about 150' from my house, that's how I know it was that close. The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds, a slow cruise around the house. I was just speechless for a couple of seconds, then asked my Mom if she saw 'that' and she said she did. I first asked her what she saw and she described perfectly exactly what I saw......so there you go.......2 eye witnesses to the same thing........huge, up close and very vivid and bright. Quite a thrilling experience.......I think of it often.
