B2 shaped vehicle 20 feet above trees moving in total silence at low speeds with no external engines

On a nice warm comfortable September night of 2008, I looked outside into the southern sky from the front door of my home at which time a fantastic event began to unfold. There is an oak tree in the front yard ninety feet away from the house that stands approximately one hundred feet tall.

As I was looking up into the southern sky, a vehicle, craft or vessel began to materialize approximately twenty feet above the oak tree. I could not believe what I was seeing, but I immediately knew that I was looking at something that was not of earth origin. This vessel was similar in shape and size to a B2 Stealth Bomber and appeared to be uncloaking or materializing into the earth’s atmosphere from another place or time. As the vessel was becoming visible, the image of the craft was very wavy and distorted, like heat waves from the highway on a hot summer day. For those of you that have watched Star Trek, when the Klingon War Ship begins to uncloak, that is exactly how this thing looked when it began to appear above the tree. It took approximately ten seconds, from the time of entry, for the vehicle to become a solid object, at which time it began to move slowly just above the tree line, in a southwesterly direction towards a ridge in the distance. The vehicle appeared to be matt black with no external engines, maneuvering at approximately ten miles per hour, in total silence. From the rear of the craft, a round soft white glow was visible from each wing, which appeared to be the propulsion system. The glow was a soft white, similar to that of a florescent bulb in a kitchen or bathroom, but had the appearance of some form of energy or plasma.

As the vessel moved slowly through the night sky, I could see a strobing red light on the left wing and a green one on the right. The pulse width of the strobing was much slower than that of a jet or airplane and the colors were somewhat different from the reds and greens that we are familiar with. At a glance or from a distance, the vehicle would appear to be just another aircraft in the night sky, but seeing it up close and personal is a totally different experience. I observed the object until it went behind the ridge to the south and was no longer visible. I immediately went outside with binoculars in hand, to the lower part of my driveway just below the oak tree, hoping to see the vessel again. I knew that I had just witnessed something very special, that to me was a great privilege and most likely, a once in a lifetime thing. I stayed outside scanning the ridge hoping to see the object once more.

After waiting for about five minutes, sure enough, it reappeared, but at a much greater distance over the southeastern part of the ridge. I knew it was the same vehicle from the soft glowing fields of energy being emitted from the wings of the craft. The vehicle began to accelerate toward the east at an unbelievable speed and was out of sight in less than a second. Due to this sighting, I have been looking up for five years now, hoping to catch a glimpse of another extraterrestrial ship traveling through our night skies.

I am retired now, in my sixties, with a background in automotive electrical and emission controls. I do not drink alcohol or use drugs. My mind is good and I do not have a wild or vivid imagination. I do however have an open mind and am not naive enough to believe that we on earth are the only form of intelligent life in the entire universe. I have no idea as to the technology that would allow a ship or vessel to materialize into the earth’s atmosphere in such a way, but I promise you, every word of this report is true.

Some of you may ask why I waited five years to post this information. As most of you well know, the subject of UFOs is a very sensitive area and sometimes ridiculed. For this reason, I made the decision to keep this information to myself.

I sometimes listen to Coast To Coast AM and had just recently heard the proprietor of this website mention that someone had reported a triangle shaped craft over their residence in a town that is ten minutes east of my location. After hearing this, I decided to post this information. From my understanding, this event took place in the late evening or night hours of August 30, 2013. I have been checking the website daily for an update, in hopes of reading that report.

I would like to thank everyone involved in the development and creation of NUFORC, which has given me the opportunity to share this wonderful and truly amazing experience.
