It was the sound of it that brought my husband and I outside. We looked in the sky from our front door and looked toward the dump/landfill and there appeared to be an airplane in the sky, but the sound was too loud for where the object was. It sounded as if it was directly over our home, but it was a few miles away.
The difference between the object and an actual plane is the lights blink quicker and never turn 'off'. The sound went "in and out" like really loud then lowered until there was no sound. In addition, the sound worked in tandem with the lights; as the lights brightened the sound grew louder and as the lights dimmed the sound grew quieter. The object moved from left to right in the sky and moved in a linear motion. I was never able to see the craft itself, I only saw the lights. Finally, once the noise ceased and the lights were no longer visible, I couldn’t see the object anymore but suddenly there was an easily identifiable airplane to the direct left of where I was standing.
The sound never came back and I couldn’t see the object in the sky again. My husband and I witnessed this together. While my husband is skeptical that it was a “UFO”, he agrees it was an unusual experience.
