Previous report and update plus one several years ago

I reported the sighting already on 5/28/2002. I wanted to request further information. I really am curious to see if anyone else has reported anything similar to what I saw. I'm not convinced it was a craft but for the fact that the light couldn't have been traveling through the cloud from the ground, I would have seen the light path as it passed through. Secondly the circular clound surrounding the event and the chill as well as the silence and then the sudden disappearance (though I didn't witness it leave) convince me that this was more than just an average light or cloud. If not a UFO what else could it have been? I was being facetious about the alien contact comment. It was late and I was rather ashamed of myself for getting so scared. I've looked through numerous entries on you site and others and haven't found anything quite like it. And though I distinctly remember reading something about UFO's hiding in circular clouds I cannot find anything confirming this. There are numerous UFO sightings in the Tacoma/Lakewood area. One night several years ago my daughter, a ffriend and I saw lights streaking across the sky betweem Tacoma and Puyallup, then they hovered and took off again, we all agreed it could not have been a plane and that was confirmed when we listened to the rradio, numerous people called the station and saw what we saw. Interestingly even though we are near an airforce and army base there were no aircraft in pursuit. We see planes all the time in this area, of all types. This did not appear to be a plane. So though a long time skeptic, I'm becoming a believer. Aliens? I don't know, but I'd love to find out. As long as I knew I was safe that is.
