A close encounter!

Well it was oct 12, 1978 Around 3:30 in the evening the day I will never forget.

It was me my parents and two sister going to my grandmothers house for super. When we arrived at her house my parents went in to see my grandmother. There was some neighbor kids wanting me and my two sisters to play football with them in a field beside my grandmothers house there was 8 of us in all between the ages of 8 and 15.It was a beautiful day the sky was a carolina blue no clouds at all.

We all started playing football we had been playing for about 1 hour when suddenly I noticed everyone gazing up toward the sky. And when I looked up I frooze I could not move or speak neither could anyone eles at this point.There was a dark gray disk shaped object above our heads.It could not have been more the 20 feet off the ground it was so close that my skin started to burn,it was hovering right above us no sound could be heard there was lights around the bottom portion of this object that moved it a circle manner and they were white and green.I was so scared but for some reason we could not move at all.There was two windows at the top of a dome located at the very top of this object and I noticed a human like figure wearing a white looking coat standing at the window looking back at us.I could see a green light on the inside and I could see human like figures moving around inside the object.There was also a beam of light shooting down at the ground and at this point I felt like I could move again so I started running toward my grandmothers house and so did everybody eles as I look back I saw this object move so quickly in between two trees than it sped off so fast it had to been faster than any aircraft I had ever seen before.I dont believe in little green men but this was far more interesting than anything I or any other people that say it that day had ever seen.I was 8 years old at the time and Im 35 now and have never seen anthing as strange as that was.What is weird about this is the fact Im allergic to certain! light h itting my skin.I cant get in tanning beds or anything with ultraviolent light,And as for everybody eles we talk about what we saw every now and than but it was such a weird experience that we all have trouble trying to comperhend what we saw was even real.I really wish we could have taken a picture or a video because it would have been one of the most closes encouters of a UFO ever fimed or video taped.Im really glad I could share my storey you because its really hard living with the fact you saw something like this.
