I am a special education teacher with over 30 years of experience. I have never seen a UFO, though have friends and family who have. This event was at 11:45 p.m. Saturday night, May 13th. I was standing outside enjoying the stillness and "the night" when I saw a very bright "aircraft" passing from West to East (over the house) It was far too bright to be an airplane and the bright orange "glow" was certainly not typical of any aircraft I have seen in the past. This beautiful "thing" was symetrical, large round center with small round shapes surrounding it. It must have been quite high because it looked like it was traveling at a slow speed and there was no sound. As it went over the house, I ran through to the front door, snagging my husband at the same time as we both watched it quickly disappear into the eastern sky.
