It was as if a huge ball of light zoomed down from the sky and just disappeared before my eyes.

Peter Davenport asked me to relate what happened to me. Yesterday, 6 Dec. 01, I had a dentist appt. and I broght to his attention a foreign object on one of the xrays. He was curious about it and mentioned it was not part of a tip of a dental tool because it was to large for that and it appeared to be almost a perfect rectangle shape with just a slight extrusion barely visable to the eye. I told him a dentist in Florida brought it to my attention in the early 60's and he said it was quite unusual and should not be there. It is well above the roots and slightly below the nose, right under it and slight to the side of it. I remember very well one night I was out meeting a lover on the proposed causeway being dredged up and I was on my way back home (I was married at the time) and knew I had to be back shortly after midnight because I had told my husband I was out with a girlfriend. While driving home I saw, what appeared to be a big ball of light streak through the sky and I expected to hear a huge sound but didn't. I wondered what in the heck it was. I lost approx. 4 - 4 1/2 hours somewhere in time because I made it home just in time to shower and get ready for work. I was terribly confused about it but for some reason I buried the memory of it as if it had not happened. (Looking back on this now, 40 years later) it does seem rather strange that I would just dismiss it that easily. I've always been a very curious person even as a child and my mom would get upset with me because I would sleep walk and sometimes end up on the front porch in the mornings. I know I was very different from my siblings and still am for that matter, and have always and still to this day remain almost obsessed with a sense of urgency to get a message out to others about the 'meaning of life'; however, I am cautious now and just let others come to me. Over the years I would awaken every a.m. around 3 am to a twinkle in the sky and I felt as though someone was communicating with me. I have seen, in the past two y! ears, 2 UFO's and they were very shiny in appearance and were stationary in the sky for 45 minutes one time. I was out in the yard sun bathing and it was as though I was mesmerized and after 45 minutes approx. I started timing the object's appearance, it did not zoom off anywhere, it just, in the blink of an eye, seem to blink out of the sky. I live in Lakewood, CO now and this is where I saw the two objects within the past two years. A friend of mine saw the UFO the day I was sun bathing. I did a series of airbrush paintings and titled them the Pleadian Series, and gave them all away but one which I still have. I don't know if this is of any help to your web site or to others who may have thought they were "seeing things" but if it helps that is good. Thank you.
