I saw a big UFO ship, August 5, 1975, four or so city blocks high ; it seemed to create clouds, and I saw the mechanical functions.

In this event, I saw (four to six blocks high in the sky)an oval shaped ship Ca. 450 feet long and 250 feet tall. The color was changing, but basically a very light gray and covered with a (seemingly partly frozen mist of smokey, foggy white), very much like frozen carbon dioxide clinging to the surface all over, except in certain areas.

The areas would change covering, and I could see and witness the change and the exposure of a very detailed mechanical system or device. There was a matrix or grid pattern of vent holes, which were about two feet in diameter each and two feet apart. These were checkerboarding (although round and not aquare)an area of about twenty feet or 40 feet in diameter and basically round, but not perfectly round due to the shifting nature of the fog covering.

The grid pattern of holes had a thick brownish, mixed with blackish, smokey substance flowing at the rate of approximately two gallons per second streaming from each port (hole, exhaust port) into each adjacent hole, and also the same substance was streaming from each adjacent port into each other adjacent port, so that all ports had the substance streaming both in and also out and from each adjacent port in the same manner. I can draw a picture or series of pictures dipicting these events in great detail.

And, later, a minute, another area would be exposed on the skin (surface of the ship) and repeat the same event. I watched this series happen two times very clearly, and on the third time, the ship was being partly hidden among sirrus clouds partly and was crossing over Broad Rock Road four to six city blocks high in the sky, about the same distance high as when I first spotted the ship.

It was difficult to stare at the ship without blinking my eyes. I was not comfortable with the thought of not having a camera or of not being able to continue learning and watching. As I stared more and more, the ship was slipping into the sirrus clouds almost as if the ship were to some extent creating the clouds or some of the clouds.

I did not want to loose sight of it. I was riding my bicycle and had stopped at the corner of Broad Rock Road, one block south of Orlando Street. In seconds, the ship sped away. I looked and stared and searched the sky in the direction it was travelling, and I was disappointed that it had vanished or gone out of my sight. I have never gotten this off of my mind at any time since then, except for a few days at a time.

I think about it veru often, every few days or weeks. I tell people about it, draw pictures and make estimations regarding the activities of the mechanical parts. Maybe this was a cover, maybe a propelling factor, a disguise, or a cooling system. This was on a late summer day. This could have been engines, exhausts, or gas exchange for changing the dimensional atomic makup of the density factor in apparent spacial configuration. I have developed a series of (plans), which depict the apparent configuration of the atomic and subatomic properties. It is theory and hypothetical, but it explains the phenominum in this way. When I speak of emmiting lights, I am speaking of the fact that I saw light from it or light reflecting from it. I did not see any things that would be defined as headlights or metallic fixtures. But, I do seem to possess amazing clarity as to the possible makup of the ship. If you want to discuss this further, contact me at 804-((number, name, and addresses deleted))
