During the spring of 2015 I rose out of bed and went out on my rear patio to smoke a cigarette. I am a stargazer and loved watching the night sky. Suddenly towards the North I saw a firey meteor come down and thought, "Wow, that was a great meteor" A couple minutes later a craft appeared overhead, slowly, silently, approched towards me over the house located behind me. It was glowing red, like heated metal, the entire craft. It was square and flat like a thick book. It just slowly moved closer, estimating it was about 1/4 mile away. The size of a one story home. As I stood there in astonishment, it was nothing like I expected a UFO to look like, but there it was slowly approaching in a smooth, slow, gliding like movement then it banked in a turn towards the west and did a U turn towards the North. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.

After completing its slow moving U turn it just continued its slow movement towards the North un! til it was out of sight. The direction it came and left took it over the nearby Rt 84. There is also a train depot nearby that had to have seen it since it was so bright, glowing red and so large, since the train depot for freight operates 24 hours and I can hear the connecting of rail cars from my home. Also nearby is Caldwell Airport, a medium sized private airport and I believe it is controlled, but not sure if it is 24 hours. I really don't care who believes me or not and that is to be expected. I know what I saw and there isn't craft like I ever had seen before. There were no signs of windows or anything, just a square shaped craft, silent, glowing hot red, smooth all over and flat, meaning the height or thickness was about 1/4 that of the square distance of the overall craft. It was also glowing red uniformly over the entire craft. I can see it clearly in my mind ever since. I was watching a UFO documentary on TV about a year ago about a UFO sighting near a! military base in Utah that looked and flew almost exactly fro! m the on e I saw. It however was traingular shaped and the sides had lines from top to bottom all the way around. It made me wonder if mine only appeared to be square due to the angle it approached me, but it did expose its under belly to me during its turn and it looked square. I didn't report it because I didn't know who to report it to, but there must have been many other witnesses being it flew over the freeway and stood out so much in color, glow, size and very unusual shape. The timeline besides the 2am has faded over time. I estimate it was in the spring of 2015 but I could be a year off at this point. I wish I can find out if others reported it, but have no clue who would have that information. I only found this website after reading an article yesterday about a recent sighting also here in Nampa which included video. It looked nothing like my sighting but if you could advise me who may have records that I can research I would greatly appreciate it. My email is pa19! 8th@aol.com
