I am sending this without the consent from my father. My father whom has been famously a non-believer his whole adult life, has recounted to me a truly disturbing story. Although it was a couple years ago, I finally decided to report his story. My father works for a local steel company, he would leave for the day shift at approximately 0545H every day. He took the same route every day. Since we live out side of the city he would travel a back country road off the highway. When he turned onto this road he noticed up ahead that it appeared to be the sun rising beyond the bush area. He travelled closer, approximately a mile up the road, over a railroad bypass. When reaching the max height of the bypass he saw what a large saucer type object to his left. It was about half a kilometre from him. He pulled over to the side of the road and observed it. It hovered above the trees. Predominately red lights with blue and white also. They did not flicker but were continueous. He told me that it was about 200 feet long in length and approximately 50-80 feet in height. He remarked to me about how he couldn't believe how big it was. It was noiseless and there was no other actions other than the ones stated above. He observed for about half an hour. The reason he knows this, he told me, was because he pulled into work at 5 minutes to 0700H. He left before it did, so it is unknown how long it stayed. He didn't tell me at first, he relayed the story to my mother, whom told me. I questioned him right away. He has refused to speak to anyone about it for fear of ridicule. He is afraid of being called "crazy". He did not speak of it for a couple years, self-doubt was obviously taking its toll on him. A week ago I asked him about it again and he gave me more detail, with vigor. Unbeknownst to him I am relaying to you his story. I am my fathers judge of character. This is a man that doesn't cheat on his tax returns, obeys all rules and is strictly honest. I have always believed in the possibility of UFO's. Now I KNOW there is UFO's. I have no doubts of this.
