Broad daylight sighting of enormous craft outside of Scottsdale Arizona May 13, 1995 around 2:00pm by husband and wife for about 20 min

I awoke this morning 4/10/01 with a vivid yet hazy recollection of an event that happened back in 1995. The memory itself is strong and undeniable yet when I try to concentrate on the event, I can recall it only as through a veil of mist. On the day in question, however, the weather was perfectly clear. A beasutiful blue desert sky. I cannot begin to remember what first caught my attention, but I do recall the gist of the conversation I had with my wife. "Is that what I think it is?" "I can't beleive it could be anything else" "It's so huge" for about twenty minutes we observed a huge silvery grey craft. I first remembered it as being Large and round but throughout the day I remember the round craft as being one type along with two others that joined the much larger craft which I now seem to remember as being somewhat angular. As for its' shape, I cannot find the words to describe how immense it was. It moved fairly slowly for the time we observed it. I do not recall how it came to leave our sight. As for the other objects I beleive I saw, there were some large round ones, and two types of smaller ones. Had I seen the smaller ones by themselves, I do not beleive I would have described them as small but in relations ship to the large craft, they seemed somewhat diminutive. I am overwhelmed by my memory of the large craft. My wife remembers the large craft as being oval. This does not fit my recollection. Nor does she recall any other smaller craft. What puzzles me most, I think, is that we did not talk about this event for any length of time after it happened. It seemed so, "Matter of fact" It seems to me that an event such as this would have been "life changing" but strangely enough this has not been the case. I spent some time this evening searching the web to see if anyone else witnessed what we saw on or around the same period of time with no luck. Perhaps it was some foggy dream of my own creation I say to myself, yet when I asked my wife if she recalled anything, she quickly was able to verify a similar sequence of events. Our details do not seem to coincide, but the overwhelming memory of the event, for me, precludes any immediate need for corraboration(sp?) I am not now, nor have recently been under the influence of any medication alcohol or illness. I do not now nor do I have any family history of any mental illness. I am not given to flights of fantasy yet do not generally take the role of unreasonable sceptic.

NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. We generally do not include information or reports about dreams, but this witness identifies himself, and his report appears to us to be a serious-minded, carefully prepared statement of what he and his wife seem to remember. PD
