at 22:00 on thursday, april 8, 2004 my son saw something out the picture window to the south of our home...he yelled.."what is that?" i jumped to the window and saw a saucer like object in the sky just behind a grove of trees across the road from our house..it had 6 lights and was just hovering there.. when i first saw it i thought it was a huge airliner that was going to crash into out house..then i realized it wasn't moving but simply hovering.. it was almost as wide as the grove of trees.. then the lights went out..we watched a little longer and about 30 seconds later the lights came back on. we never saw it leave or move..but it was there and then it wasnt and then it was back again..

NUFORC Note:

We have spoken with this witness on several occasions, and we find her to be exceptionally credible. Moreover, she has appeared on two radio programs, and has done a very good job of describing precisely what it was she witnessed on this date, together with her son. Her later measurements indicate that the object was more than 400 feet from her, and less than 600 feet, and it subtended an arc of approximately 20 degrees, as viewed from her vantage point. That translated to a width of 144 to 206 feet for the object. The witness is a former police officer, a former private investigator, and a retired instructor at a local academy. PD
