This event happened many years ago, 4 to be exact. I had been asleep in my bedroom, at about one am. My mother ran into my room, wrapped in a sheet. She woke me up and insisted I follow her outside onto our wrap around deck. As we walked outside, she pointed up. To my amazement, I saw a circular craft, with lights around the circumference. The lights were bright, and varied in color. The craft was flying very low to the ground, just above our heads. My mother seemed to be more in shock that I was. I had always believed in such things, but she was more of a skeptic. The craft hovered over our heads, and slowly began to move forward. My mother jumped off the porch, and ran after the craft. She ran the entire 3 acres, until she reached the road. The craft then shot straight up, and disapeared. I will never forget this sighting. The next day, after talking with our neighbors, we realized that they too, on different occasions, had witnessed similar events.
