According to “Joe”, it was early fall 2006 and he had just gotten home
from work and was at his kitchen sink looking out into his back yard
which is lined with large trees. He saw his two sons, age 9 and 11
standing very still and looking skyward.
“Joe” states he bent down at the sink to look skyward, hoping to see
what his sons were looking at.
His first thought was “Wow, a jump jet” and then realizing that there
was no noise. He immediately went out his back door to his deck.
About 50-60 feet away and probably 30 feet up was a large dark
polished (chrome-like)metallic craft about the size of a “greyhound
bus”(Joe’s words).
Standing in absolute awe, he described this ballistic shaped object as
being 40 feet long, cylindrical/cone shaped with a shiny metal surface
somewhat the color of polished stainless steel. It was “parked”, silent
and perfectly still in Mid Air !
“Joe “described that unlike in movies, there was no noise, no static,
no radiant distortions, not a leaf moving as if this object were not ever
there. Joe is studying this object and as a self described “geek”, he can
not comprehend what his eyes are telling him is right above him and
his sons.
“Joe” also described the back of the craft as having three large darker
protrusions set in a triangular pattern and many small darker spots
which almost remind him of regularly
spaced rivets, but were not rivets as were about the diameter of a dinner
plate and encircled the rear of the craft. The three circles at the rear
of the craft looked like closely nit wire mesh, no heat signature radiated
from the circles nor any indication of any power source.
“Joe” described the craft as wingless, no rivets, bolts, screws or welds
other than the perfectly inlaid dots that encircled the rear of the craft as
when viewing from the side
.
After some 3 to 4 minutes the craft starts to move (still absolutely no
sound or indication of any power) Then stopped at the end of his back
yard. “Joe” was amazed as not sure how the craft stopped, and amazed
as the craft makes what Joe described as an almost “magnetically
influenced “turn (A turn which happened
within an area the craft occupied squared)and speeds off to the NE in level
flight gaining altitude with absolutely no pitch(Level). He did add that as
the object sped away a emerald green strobe began flashing but recalls no
such feature visible on the object when it hovered over his yard. It was
added the craft when viewed from a further distance, besides the color of
the strobe, you could not discern this object from an ordinary aircraft when
viewed from afar.
The entire family , including Joe’s wife witnessed the object and are still
angry with themselves for not using a video camera which was inside the
house and ready for use.
He has nothing to gain or lose by sharing his story but said that over the
past year has found himself thinking about this close encounter quite often.
