Our Recent Encounter with a "UFO"...

NOT a UFO in the traditional sense (you know, flying saucers, aliens...), but still an "unidentified" object in the sky. Recently, between 6 AM and 6:30 AM, we saw what appeared to be a very unusual phenomena in the pre-dawn sky. This happened on the so-called "Black Friday" (November 23, 2007 - the day after Thanksgiving...). We'll name it a "skystring".

We were walking to work (again) in the pre-dawn hours, when we spotted something hovering in the southwest sky, about 30° above the horizon or so. It appeared to be of an electric blue color, and of a short string-like shape. It appeared to be of one shape one moment, and another the next...flexing and curling. Altitude could not be determined. Its shape kept changing, becoming angular and even forming a circular pattern combined with the angle.

When we arrived at the store, the thing was still visible. It was a very strange sight. We waited for another witness, and one of my regular customers did show up. The store was not yet open, and she was in a hurry to do her shopping. We asked her if she also saw the thing. She said yes, she did. We asked her what the hell it was? She said it was a UFO, she then drove off, more interested in her shopping than a UFO (!).

By the time the manager arrived to let us in the store, it was too late to get a camcorder and camera to record the thing. It was no longer visible in the dawn sky.Later that day we told our store manager of this sighting and asked if we could borrow a one-time-use camcorder and digital camera that had been previously written off. She consented.

That night, on our way home from our other job, we video recorded the sight in the night sky. This time, it had moved to the southeast corner of the sky, and was performing as before. We did have time to capture a 30 second record of it. The digital camera proved useless. We have yet to download the recording to a DVD as we are waiting for more opportunities to view and record. However, cloud cover and snow and rain have obscured the object or thing. We look forward to posting this video in the future.

Is this true or a hoax? We'll probably never know. URL: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070409/od_nm/britain_text_dc

Was it an Angel, a Spirit, a Vision, or...?

My mother passed away about 10 months ago. One of her hobbies was making handmade dolls. She made some that were exquisite.

I was in her basement (cellar) the other day, where she kept some of her dolls. In the central space of the basement, I saw a huge, very ornately decorated doll that looked something like an angel...I couldn't remember a huge doll of this size and decoration being in that spot. I was fooled into believing that it was one of her dolls. I turned and looked away. And then I thought, "There is no doll there". I turned and looked back, and indeed there was nothing there. Was it an angel, a spirit, a vision, some kind of hallucination, or...?

I saw what appeared to be a moving apparition early on the morning of Wednesday, January 17,2007.

The previous day, my vehicle had broken down in severe weather (I repaired it some days later).

This forced me to walk to my job at a local retailer early this morning. I left my place about 6 am so that I could arrive in time to open the business.

Of course it was very dark and I was walking by starlight. I was not aware of any vehicles coming or going around me.

Crossing a major east-west road to my northbound path, I saw a lone white figure that was walking on the path I was going to take. The lone figure was about a half block ahead of me.

The figure appeared as a blur and appeared to be feminine. I was not aware of its point of origin. Though, it looked like it should have come from my side of the road, but I had not seen it/her/him cross the road. It was like the figure had just appeared on the path ahead of me.

I thought it was too early for a lone jogger or someone out for their morning exercise. Also, they were not dressed suitably for the cold winter morning.

Seeking to investigate, I tried to catch up with the figure. I turned northbound as I left my east-west path (I had been heading west). I looked and listened for the figure. I looked all around, but could see absolutely no figure in white. I couldn't hear anything. There wasn't a soul around. As I said, their were no vehicles so this figure could not have been a trick of some vehicle's headlights.

The lone figure had vanished and now I was completely alone and very disconcerted.

I have not seen anything like this figure since...
