This is your Submitted Sighting Report : I LIVED IN AN INCREDIBLE APPARTMENT
BELONGING TO MY MOTHER IN NYC FROM 1995-1997. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE NORHT,
SOUTH, EAST AND WEST PERFECTLY FROM THE WINDOW. ONE SUMMER NIGHT, SOME FRIENDS
AND I WERE WATCHING A SHOW ON UFOS. IT ENDED ABOUT 1:00 AM AND SINCE WE HAD BEEN
PARTYING, FOUR OF MY FRIENDS PASSED OUT IN THE LIVINGROOM, MY BEST FRIEND (WHO
HAPPENS TO BE A THERAPIST FOR AUTISTIC CHILDREN) SLEPT IN MY ROOM WITH MY TWIN
SISTER, AND MY BOYFRIEND AND I SLEPT IN MY MOTHER'S ROOM (SHE WAS AWAY ON A
TRIP...HAHA). ANYWAY, MY BOYFRIEND WAS SLEEPING AND I WATCHED THE SKY AS I WAS
LYING IN BED. I COULD SEE THE BEAUTIFUL MOON. NO CLOUDS AROUND AND I COULD SEE
ALL THE WAY TOWARDS SOUTH. I WATCHED THE MOON A WHILE AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THE
UFO SHOW. I SAID TO MYSELF: OH GOD...PLEASE LET ME SEE A UFO. THIS WAY I CAN
WAKE SOMEONE UP AND SHOW THEM THAT SUCH BEINGS EXIST. THIS WAY THEY WOULD NOT
THINK I WAS NUTS. I SWEAR TO GOD (AND I DON'T TAKE SWEARING LIGHTLY) WITHIN A
FEW SECONDS. I SAW A LINE OF CLOUDS FORMING OVER WHERE THE MOON WAS. OUT OF
NOWHERE! IF THERE WERE CLOUDS AROUND...I WOULD HAVE SEEN THEM COMING FROM MILES
AWAY. ONCE THE LINE OF CLOUD WAS FORMED OVER THE MOON, A THIN LINE STARTED
EXTENDING DOWNWARD OUT OF THE CLOUD...LIKE A LINE STRETCHING SLOWLY. THAT WAS
VERY STRANGE. I GOT OUT OF BED AND RAN NEXT DOOR TO MY ROOM AND OPENNED THE
DOOR. MY BEST FRIEND HEARD ME OPEN THE DOOR AND SAID RIGHT AWAY..."THE CLOUDS,
RIGHT?" I WAS AMAZED! I SAID TO HER, "YOU SAW IT TOO? THE CLOUDS CAME OUT OF
NOWHERE!" SHE SAID, "YES" I TOLD HER THERE WAS MORE, AND TO HURRY AND COME WITH
ME TO MY MOM'S BALCONY. WE WENT OUTSIDE AND THE LINE WAS STILL STRETCHING
DOWNWARDS SLOWLY. I DIDN'T TELL HER TO LOOK AT AT. INSTEAD, I ASKED HER WHAT SHE
SAW. AT FIRST SHE SAID NOTHING AND I TOLD HER TO LOOK MORE CAREFULLY. SHE
DESCRIBED THE SAME THING I WAS LOOKING AT. I TURNED TOWARD MY BOYFRIEND WHO WAS
STILL IN BED AND TRIED TO WAKE HIM UP. HE WOULDN'T. MY BEST FRIEND STARTED TO
CALL HIM LOUDLY AND STILL HE WOULDN'T WAKE UP. THEN MY FRIEND JUMPED ON HIM AND
SHOOK HIM...STILL NOTHING. WE WERE MISSING WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND RETURNED
OUTSIDE. THE LINE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS MADE OF CLOUD PARTICLES, AND THE LIGHT OF
THE MOON MADE IT GLOW JUST LIKE THE CLOUD. IT EXTENDED ALL THE WAY DOWN BEHIND A
LARGE BUILDING. THEN EVEN STRANGER THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN. THE LARGE
BUILDING'S ONE SIDE STARTED TO LIGHT UP, AS IF SOMEONE WAS TAKING FLASH
PHOTOGRAPHY OF IT. WE WOULD SEE A FLASH. THEN IT WOULD STOP. 30 SECONDS LATER,
ANOTHER FLASH, THEN NOTHING FOR A MINUTE OR TWO...THEN AGAIN ANOTHER
FLASH...ETC. IT WENT ON FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. AFTER THAT TIME, THE LINE STARTED
TO RETRACT, THE SAME WAY IT STARTED, EXCEPT NOW IT WAS GOING UPWARDS. SLOWLY IT
WENT BACK INTO THE CLOUD. WE THOUGHT IT WAS OVER. BUT IT WASN'T. THE LINE
STARTED TO STRETCH OUT OF THE CLOUD UPWARDS.WE FOLLOWED ITS MOVEMENT UNTIL WE
BOTH NOTICED SOMETHING AT THE TIP OF THE LINE. IT WAS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE IN
DIAMETER OF THE LINE....A SAUCER. IT LOOKED VERY SMALL AND IT HAD SMALL RED AND
GREEN LIGHTS LIGHTING UP AROUND IT. IT STRETCHED UPWARDS AND THE LINE LOOKED
LIKE IT CURVED SLIGHTLY. THEN MY FRIEND AND I DECIDED TO WAVE AT IT. WE LAGHED
AT EACHOTHER WHILE DOING SO. WE KEPT SAYING...WE HAVE GONE NUTS....WE'RE WAVING
AT A UFO! THEN MORE CLOUDS MOVED IN? OR FORMED UNTIL WE COULDN'T SEE IT ANYMORE
OR THE MOON. TO THIS DAY SHE AND I STILL ARE IN A STATE OF DENIAL ABOUT IT. WE
KNOW WHAT WE SAW BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM "REAL" STILL. WE HAVE TOLD MY BOYFRIEND AND
OTHERS ABOUT IT, THEY JUST LAUGH. I HAD A WITNESS THOUGH! EVEN SO...IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE, YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
SINCE THAT NIGHT I HAVE SEEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF CRAFTS FROM MY WINDOW. TWICE I
HAVE SEEN A GREEN PULSATING LIGHT THAT ZIG ZAGS ACROSS THE SKY. ONE SECOND IT IS
UP, ANOTHER SECOND IT IS ACROSS. IT STARTS OUT WITH A SMALL RED LIGHT THAT LOOKS
LIKE A HELICOPTER, BUT THE MOVEMENT PATTERN IS NOT THE SAME. IT THEN STARTS TO
GLOW GREEN...IT GROWS AND THEN RETRACTS AND BECOMES A SMALL RED LIGHT AGAIN. I
DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE SAME TYPE OF CRAFT, BUT TWO OTHER TIMES I HAVE SEEN A
RED LIGHT START OUT SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS THE SKY AND THEN ZOOMS AT HIGH SPEED
OUT OF SIGHT.
I'M SORRY I COULDN'T MAKE THIS DESCRIPTION A LITTLE BIT SHORTER, BUT I DIDN'T
WANT TO LEAVE ANYTHING OUT. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TELL IT...TURNED OUT TO BE
GOOD THERAPY FOR ME.
