In reply to the discussion: Have any of you seen a true-blue U.F.O. that you believe was extraterrestrial? [View all]shraby
(21,946 posts)Present there was my mother and 5 children she had at the time, me and Mr. Shraby and our 4 children, my sister-in-law with 2 children, my other sister-in-law with her two. The kids my mother and I had were in the 10-14 year old range. The other ones were younger.
Adults were in the house visiting and all the kids were outside playing at dusk. They came running in and wanted the binoculars to see the airplane outside. While they were in the house, the airplane moved around to the east side of the house where the patio door was and it was by the apple trees about 50 feet from the house and about as high off the ground as the apple trees were tall. By then it was almost real dark out. It was one of those black nights with no moon.
It hung by the apple trees so everybody was gawking out the patio doors to try to see what it was just hanging there. There was no noise (not a helicopter) and there were lights on inside it.
Mr. Shraby and my sister-in-law hogged the binoculars, the rest of us had to peek and peer. It hung there probably 15 minutes or so then went over the apple trees toward the east.
We never could figure out what it was.
Then again about 3 years ago in the daytime Mr. Shraby and I were watching the seagulls flying and diving around after the bugs that had hatched. They do that a couple times a summer and while watching them a large sort of cigar shaped or missile shaped plane? flew very slowly between our house and the town water tank at about the height of the tank. Neither one of us thought to grab the digital camera we have and we never did to this day figure out that it was.
