Overwhelming sound and vibration with no craft visible

Unfortunately, my wife and I did not record the exact time and date of our “sighting”, which was really a “hearing” or “feeling”, as we at no time observed a craft of any kind, not that we didn’t scour the sky to identify what we heard and felt. The time of day would have been mid-day in June or July of 2008.

We have been hesitant to report this “sighting” as we haven’t heard of any other instances where no actual craft was seen even though the sound and feel of the presence of a craft was unmistakable. It was either close to noon, or possibly 1:00 PM and we were doing some clearing of our property in the eastern foothills of the Hualapai Mountains, approximately 16 miles east of Kingman, AZ. Our exact location per GPS was 35 ((deleted))N , 113 ((deleted))W at an elevation of 4,125’.

To explain the “sighting” is difficult, as it started out as a noise, which we were used to hearing in that area, as military helicopters, usually in threes, occasionally fly over our property, from west to east. Having served in the Marine Corps, I am very familiar with this sound and usually stop what I’m doing and locate the choppers in the sky. This was totally different. The sound was of something absolutely huge. We could hear it approaching and stopped what we were doing to locate the “object”. As it neared, the sound became almost deafening until it became a feeling that literally shook the ground. I was walking all over the area searching the skies for an object. When the sound became directly over our heads, it remained for some time, as if hovering. Our only guess was that whatever it was, it was somehow not visible to the naked eye, or as we assumed, “cloaked”. At this time, there was no point in moving around, as I had searched every available spot in t! he sky for an object, to no avail. After what seemed an eternity (actual time in the vicinity of three or four minutes) it seemed to move on, slowly, as it had arrived.

To date, we have not heard of any other instances of a “sighting” with no apparent craft observation. We’d love to hear if anyone else has had this experience, but have no idea where to start. I’m just very glad that my wife and I shared this experience, as I have not or would not share this experience with anyone else for fear of being considered “whacko”, or prone to over imaginative. We just had to finally share the information with somebody.
