Moon Sized UFO And Missing Time For Husband And Wife On Holidays

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Late August 1977

Dear Brian, here's a experience involving the moon. We left for vacation driving at night from Vegas to Colo, this happened in late August 1977. We left the house about midnight, took the old Salt Lake Highway out of Vegas and had just crossed from Nevada into Utah. I was watching the sky as usual and I remember it was full moon and things were very bright, for some reason the desert really lights up in moon light and we could see a long distance. 

I had been looking out the back window, (at this point in my life I didn't actually know for sure why I was always so watchful of the night sky.) I did know there were a lot of sightings in my life from the time I was a teenager and later remembered another when I could been no more than 8 or 9 years old.  Once I remembered the abductions it really went back to pre school, with what I thought was skeletons around my bed at night. I think it would be easy for a child to mistake greys for skeletons.  

At any rate I was looking at the Big Dipper laying low in the sky and the moon was coming up farther to the east. When I turned back facing forward I noticed for a second what looked like the moon to my right higher in the sky, I realized it should not be in that position. I spoke to my husband, he didn't answer, he stared straight a head like he was in a trance. I grabbed the arm rest and rolled down the window to see better. It wasn't the moon as it was descending at a pretty fast rate, but it was a large round white light that looked to be the shape of a ball coming down toward us. 

The next thing I remember was waking up with my head laying on the bottom of the window as it was still down, at that point all I knew is it was still dark. I thought I had fallen asleep, we shortly found out that may been true, but it was no where near normal nap. What ever time of night it was, I don't recall, I do recall it was pitch black, there was no moon and we were still in the desert. 

We soon discovered we were lost, we went for miles in what appeared by the stars to be the wrong direction because there were no other roads we could find to get any bearings what so ever. We certainly were not on the highway we were on previously, we didn't know what state we were in, I guess we drove for fifty miles before we saw a sign that said Utah on it, we were on some back road still with no direction as to where we were.  

About the time the sun was coming up, we found out we were headed east, instead of west still in Utah and had to drive another fifty miles to get back on the highway we had been on when the trip started. We got back on the highway we started on, then stopped and got breakfast about seven I believe in Cisco Utah. That's not real far from our destination in Colo, so we drove on there arriving about noon. The friends we were visiting, were about frantic, they wanted to know why we didn't call and let them know we were going to leave a day later than we told them, in other words we were a day late.  I checked their calendar and sure enough, we were some where for a full 24 hours neither of us remembered anything about. 

Try explaining that to people that know nothing of UFOs, at that point I knew we had been abducted, problem was I didn't want to face that and just dropped it, saying we must have sent them the wrong date of arrival. Now it's one week later and as usual my husband wanted to drive at night because of less traffic, I wanted to leave earlier and be some where by dark to stay the night, we ended up leaving after dark. I've wondered since, if that thought was put in his brain and certainly not by me. 

We got to Cisco, Utah about midnight, for a half hour or so before that a bright, white round light had been moving with us on the horizon to our left side above the canyons, we couldn't tell how far away it was at night. My husband suggested we stop for some pie and coffee in Cisco, we were there maybe half hour forty five minutes. We came out on to the main highway and shortly we saw this object again in the same location following us along and we were driving way over the speed limit. 

Neither of us said anything. When we woke up, we were driving into our house about two AM, how we got from Cisco, Utah to our house in Vegas two hours later was something someone needed to explain. Well turns out it wasn't just two hours later, it was a day and two hours later, we went to bed not knowing that and about seven the next morning the phone rang. They were wondering where my husband was, as he had to be at work that day, thing is we left a day early so we would have a day to rest before going to work and believe me I'm very sure of that. So as I said, we were a day and two hours later getting home on the return trip. I to this day have no memory of what happened in those two days, I'm not sure he did or not he refused to speak about it. Take real good care my dear friend.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I am 32 and am a single mother of 2 boys, ages 2 and 10. I have seen UFOs 3 times in Ulster County. Twice they looked like fuzzy orbs that would appear then vanish, then come back again.

After my first sighting I started having missing and very strange dreams. In one I was told that I was different because of my blood which is A-. My missing time episodes I can verify as I started seeing a therapist.

I am still having disturbing dreams to this day. After my first sighting, paranormal activity started up in my house and several people were witness to that. If you know anything about A- blood having any connection to aliens or UFOs please let me know.

Triangular Shaped UFO Hovering And Missing Time Moose Lake Area Wisconsin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  2002

Time:  11:00 - 11:30 p.m.

I also wanted to pass along another thing that happened to me in 2002. I was on my way up to see a friend in Two Harbors, Mn. It was a Thursday night and I left the house at 10:00 p.m. I was about an hour and a half into the trip which put me up around the Moose Lake area. Being 11:30 p.m. on a Thursday night I was the only thing on the road. Up in the distance I could see what I thought to be an emergency vehicle on the shoulder.

The closer I got I see it was up in the air off past the fence running along the highway. The object was around 200 feet off the ground and was a triangle shape. It had a light on each corner and they were alternating red, blue and green. 

There was also a dome shaped thing on the bottom that was also lit up and looked like mother of pearl. It looked like it was liquid and was mixing or oozing around in there.

I stopped the car on the shoulder and got out. I leaned on the roof of the car and watched it for what I would guess to be about 5 to 10 minutes. It then started to move off to the east and I got back in the car and continued on to my friends house. I should have arrived there at 12:30 a.m. or so. When I got there all the lights were off and I had to wake him.

He came to the door and said "What the heck took you so long?" "Do you know what time it is?" He said. "It's 2:30". I told him that I had not stopped anywhere except for a couple minutes to watch these strange lights. He just thought I was jerking his chain. I got back home on that Sunday and told my wife about the lights and drew her a picture of what I had observed.

She thought that it was pretty weird and folded the drawing up and put it in her jewelry box. Then in 2004 we had all kinds of crazy sightings as you know. I was on the internet and happened across Jerry Pippins website and when I clicked on his area called UFO FILES. Up popped the same triangle thing I had seen.

It's the same thing that Darrell Barker the police officer witnessed. The other night I was at the hotel my wife works at and happened to run into a lady that mentioned she is from the Moose Lake area. I couldn't help telling her about the sighting. She just smiled and told me that her husband was the Chief of Highway Patrol (retired). She went on to tell me that two officers had reported the same thing on the east side of the highway in 2002.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Silver Saucer Shaped UFO And Missing Time Experience Royalton Ohio

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 14 ,1973

Time:  11:00 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Saucer

Full Description of event/sighting:  This is a missing time event. I was around 15 years old at this time, and I was coming back from a friends house, which was about a mile away from my house as the crow flies. I always cut through a stretch of sparse woods to get to, and return from this friends house, and this day wasn't any different.

I always cut in at this spot in the woods where there was a path that went through, and ended up coming out right past my aunt, and uncle's house where they're woods sits right in back of they're house. The path then continues right on down another 300 or so yards into my mom, and dad's back yard. This information is all needed to tell you what happened.

After I made my cut through the woods to get to my house, I had walked about 100 yards when I started getting a buzzing sound around my head, which was fairly normal in the woods as there were bees around, but this buzzing sound, it occurred to me it wasn’t like a sound made by a bee.

It was about that time that I noticed, off to my right about 30 feet and up about 15 feet was a silver disc, or saucer shaped object. I was scared, but I figured that as long as I didn't look directly at it, that it may not bother me.

I figured that it had let me walk this far up on it without doing anything to me, so maybe it would let me walk on by it at that point. God knows I was scared though, I was only 15.

I looked real close at it out of the corner of my eye because I wanted to remember detail of this thing . It was no bigger that 10 feet across, and probably closer to 8 feet.

It might have been around 4 feet high in the very middle. At that point ( as I was looking at it ) I had a feeling that they knew I was looking at it, so I continued another 10 - 15 feet to where the path made a turn around a wild apple tree ( in which they were then on the other side of ) and I took off at a dead sprint, faster than I had "ever" ran before! I was weaving from side to side, all the while thinking they were right behind me, and therefore feeling that I was running for my life.

I made it about 100 yards down through the small trees 15 - 20 feet high, to a fence that I usually had to climb over to get on down the path, and jumped, and cleared the fence with no trouble at all.

At this point I was in my Aunt, and Uncle's woods and immediately shot straight toward their house, and at that very moment I found myself standing at the other end of my aunt, and uncle's woods staring straight at a small tree, and being told that it was ok now that I could move now, and did I want to see him (the voice sounded male) I said no, and the voice said not to talk, that if I only though what I wanted to say that it could understand me.

That’s when I thought ok, and it said ok that's perfect (this voice was spoken in the absolute clearest voice I have ever been witness to) Then this voice said why won't you look at me, and I said, I'm afraid I will be scared if I look. It said it understood. That's when I said I don't want to be here like this, and it said that it would be alright, and I would not be hurt in any way, and at that point I felt relaxed, and was able to communicate, but that's where it gets sketchy, because I don't remember a lot of what the conversation was. I do know that when the conversation was over, and I turned around to walk on home, I was no longer afraid of them, but I did actually pinch myself real hard, to make sure it was not a dream. It hurt so it was not a dream ! lol

After I got home, and I walked up to the back door, my mom met me there, and she was not happy. She said, where have you been? You were supposed to be here 4 hours ago. Needless to say I was in dire straits on that one, but I didn't really know what to say because I knew she wouldn't believe me telling her the truth, but I tried to tell her anyway, and all she had to say was, yeah right !

So, I went straight in and went to bed because for some reason I was dead tired, and that was very out of the norm for me as I was an athlete in school, I played all the sports they let me play.

Well, there's my story. It's something that I've kept pretty much to myself since it happened, for obvious reasons, and those being that I know how a lot of people think about these things, and didn't want to be made a spectacle of, but now I would welcome a chance to be hypnotized because I know that there is a lot more to my story, and I now, at the age of 47, want to know what happened to me on that day.

So please feel free to contact me, and I will fill you in more on what was said by that alien that day, as far as I can remember.

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

Blue UFOs/Lights And 40 Minutes Missing Time 100 Mile House To Clinton British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  March 7, 1993

Time:  Early evening.

Listen in to the lady describe what it was she saw in this telephone interview: https://jmp.sh/B4LE4um

I talked with a nice lady who wanted to make a report of what she saw, and took place. She is living in Clinton, B.C. and drove to 100 mile House for her grandson's third birthday. After her day with her family members it was 6:25 p.m. when the lady left to drive back home to Clinton.

She told me she planned to drive straight through, not stopping along the way. The lady was approximately 10 miles north of Clinton at a high point in her journey when she witnesses a brilliant blue light hovering down in the meadow off of the highway. The light was so bright it lit up the entire area around it.

The woman told me she didn't know what to think at that time and just continued along towards home. The witness never got to much further when she saw three other blue lights shaped in a V pattern hovering off to the side of the highway and up the bank just a head of her vehicle.

As she drove by the lights, baffled at what was causing the lights, the next thing the lady remembered was pulling into the small community where she resides. What has her thinking about this experience is that there appears to be a loss of 40 minutes that she cannot recall.

The witness also commented that she felt rather unusual after she arrived home, but never thought alot about it at that time.

Two days after witnessing the blue lights she drove back to 100 Mile House and along the way she kept her eyes peeled to see if there was a home, or something along the way that may have caused the lights that she observed. No structures or anything else was seen in the areas the lights were.

Some days later the woman talked with a fellow who also saw the blue lights around the location the lady had saw them. Then the following week the local newspaper ran an article about blue lights seen by others over 108 Mile.

Because of now knowing a few others had saw the same as her, she drove around to some of the farms asking the folks if they had witnessed anything at the time and date the lights were observed. The lady had no luck finding anyone else.

Listen in to the lady describe what it was she saw in this telephone interview: https://jmp.sh/B4LE4um

Thank you to the person for their report.

A Close Encounter With Massive Triangular Shaped UFO And Missing Time Orleans Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 1998

Time:  7:15 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 6

Number of objects: 1?
Shape of objects: Triangular and round.

Full Description of event/sighting: It was a very cold day in February when my mother and I walked out of the Chiro's office and headed to the Giant Tiger across St-Joseph Blvd. to get a few items. It was about 6:45 p.m. at the time we entered the store. It only took us a maximum of 12 minutes in the store and so I figure it must have been around 7:00 p.m. the latest.

We crossed the street again to head back home when I noticed an amber coloured  oval object moving over the bank. I pointed it out to my mother who by this time was half freezing to death at the minus 30 temperature we were experiencing. She was quick to brush it off and said to we had to walk fast in order to warm up. But then, I noticed that the object was still.

I told my mom to stop walking for a second to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me (and to confirm that she was also seeing the same thing) Low and behold, the object was as still as could be, not making a sound. We decided to keep walking since it was too darn cold to stick around.

The object followed us. When we stopped, it would stop. When we would move forward it would move forward...at one point it had gotten a little too far ahead of us and actually reversed itself to be in sync with us. (?) We passed a pizza place and a few stores until we came to a clearing between a house and a flower shop where it was darker because the glare of the street lights was faded by the heavy darkness that lay in behind the house.

As if things weren't bizarre enough already, it started a strange sequence of shape shifting. It changed from oval to round. Then split in two to make two round amber coloured shapes one staying still while the other dance with the tree. At about that time, two women came out of the house and one exclaimed to the other "Look at that!" but the other lady, disinterested, told her friend that they didn't have the time to fool around and they got in their car and left.

One thing I need to mention here is that while the craft was shape shifting, my mother and I were sort of in awe of the whole thing...so much so that the minus 30 degree weather didn't seem to bother us at all. In fact, we were as warm as can be. Anyway, we decided to head home since my brother, who was only 8 or 9 at the time, was home alone and we needed to get back quickly for fear that he may get scared if left alone for too long.

We started home and the craft seemed to have disappeared ? We cut through the parking lot of a low-roofed warehouse where we saw something that I will never forget. The orange glow of the streetlight lit the side of the hugest object I have ever seen in my life. It looked like this big black (tar) mass sitting maybe 30-50 feet above the roof of this warehouse.

It was so big that we couldn't see the other side of this thing. This massive triangular shape appeared to be moving very slowly ahead of us, directly over the townhouse project we lived in. Two men were on the other side of the street and saw the event...I never guessed they would have run away from it though. And at that moment, the most remarkable thing happened.

The object shifted upwards to show its full form and for the first time we actually heard noise...blue lights light up the entire triangle and electric blue sparks shot downward from either ends of the craft. I was amazed and terrified at the same time. It still evokes strong feelings just thinking about it.

The object seemed to have disappeared once more, only to reappear a quarter of a mile further as a reddish-blue light swishing back and forth in the night sky. We continued home which was literally across the street by that time and realized that we were warm. My brother opened the door with a very worried look on his face. "Where were you mom? You were gone for so long! Where were you?"

My mother and I looked at each other and then at my brother, perplexed. My mother said: "We've only been gone about half an hour" I quickly took off my winter boots and walked to the kitchen to look at the time on the wall clock. "Mom, it's 9:30 p.m. how is that possible?"

Ever since that day, we have strived to explain the time loss but we really can't come up with anything that would make sense.

I had an appointment at the Chiro's office for 6:30 p.m. We left the office at 6:45p.m. went to the store across the street and were out by 7:00 p.m. the latest. From that particular store back to our house was only a 20 minute walk...given the fact that we stood still for a little while we'll add 20 minutes just to be sure ( actually, it only felt like 10-15 minutes altogether) So, technically we should have arrived home at 7:40 p.m.

Surely, we would have noticed if we were outside in minus 30 degree weather for a total of 2 1/2 hours. We would have had frostbite or something

Thank you to the witness for the amazing report.

An Amazing/Frightening UFO Encounter In Thousand Oaks California (4 Eyewitness Audio Interviews)

 Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Thousand Oaks California Special Interview (All 4 Eyewitnesses)

I did a 3 and a half audio interview with four eyewitnesses which I will post shortly.

Finally I have did all the interviews with all of the four eyewitnesses for the Thousand Oaks California event and have the interview ready and posted. The length of the interview is 3 hours and 13 minutes in length. The people who are speaking out over the unusual experience is Steve, his brother Rick, Steve's Mom and Steve's ex-wife.

The chain of events took place over two nights, the police were called, the newspaper wrote a story on a tree which caught fire as the fire department were called out to put out the fire. Balls of light shooting over the people's head while standing on their driveway listening to the god awful screams. Circles left on the ground behind the home on the hill. Flash of light which engulfed the entire inside of the home and a figure could be seen coming up the stairs while this bright white light filled the home. Plus missing time, and a lot of it. This interview you do not want to miss.

Thank you to the family for taking the time with me.

Thousand Oaks, California UFO - Blinding Light And Sheer Terror (Special)

Received Report: January 2007

Date: November 1975 (2 nights)

Witnesses: Myself (20 at the time)

My father - deceased 1977 (age 47)

Mother

Brother (19 at the time)

My now ex-wife (19, 6 months pregnant at the time)

2 German Shepherds

Co-worker of my mothers - deceased.

UFO sighting reports from the past years I find simply amazing. There have been scores of sightings that have been reported to different UFO groups throughout the years, but still there are thousands of cases that have gone unreported. In the below letter is one of these. I would urge anyone from past years to file their UFO sighting as it helps us all out and hopefully gives us a better understanding of what is really happening in the day and nighttime skies.

Brian Vike's Note: The report, or experience which was related to me by a really nice fellow wishes to remain anonymous which is totally fine with me. Also I completely understand why he would like it to remain this way. But, this is an important case and the witness, or witnesses to this unusual event are looking for answers, as I am. 

These folks are requesting anyone's help, in other words people who may have been witness to some unusual events around the time of this experience. Anyone with information on sightings in the Thousand Oaks, California area in November 1975 would you please contact Brian Vike, with your information on what took place. I then can pass along just the detailed information to the people who were involved in the November 1975 incident. Thank you very much, Brian Vike.


We lived in Thousand Oaks, California at the time, at 2130 Sapra (There are 2 Sapra's that were supposed to connect but never did. Our house was on the short one, connecting directly to Erbes Road). It was a new housing development when we moved in from Amarillo, TX in 1969 (My dad worked for Burroughs and was transferred from Texas to the Westlake Village branch). 

We were the last house on a dead end street at the end of town. The houses were on only the south side of the street, cut out of the hill, with a large horse field across the street. The house was perched quite high above Erbes Rd and we could see over the horse field and into the valley below.

First Night:

My cousin lived next door and he and I were playing guitar on my front driveway along with my brother and a couple of other friends around 7:00 or 8:00 pm (close guess). Suddenly a blue light (size of a basketball?) streaked (super fast- no sound) over the house from the south and hit the horse field. I say hit, but it seemed to dissolve on impact and sent blue, lightning like streamers shooting off across the ground in all 3 other directions, for hundreds of yards until they disappeared. 

Well, this was kind of strange to say the least, but we were kind of laughing about it as a couple of the people were facing away and saw nothing. We went back to playing guitar and 15 to 20 minutes later, this huge pine tree on the street down in the valley (Marview Drive - just looked it up on map quest) suddenly was fully engulfed in flames. 

We stood there for awhile ( I remember watching the fire truck come down Arboles and turn up Erbes down in the valley below). Eventually it was put out (the story was in the paper -News Chronicle- the next day).

That night my brother, ex and I were up in my old room (My ex-wife and I were up in Alaska that year and had just gotten back) watching TV and we had the window on the east side of the room open. About 10:00 or so my brother told me to turn down the TV, he thought he heard something. 

We went over to the window and, after a couple of minutes, heard a far off 'scream' way back in the hills to the northeast. We looked at each other with a 'what was that' look and a couple of minutes later heard it again, only it sounded farther away. I think we heard it a couple of other times and than didn't hear it again. Nothing else happened that night.

We all got home from work the next day, ate dinner, then my folks sat in the living room to watch TV and the 3 of us went upstairs to do the same. Around 7:00 my brother again said to turn down the TV (He always sat in a chair that we had next to that window) and immediately we heard the 'scream', only much closer.

How do I describe 'the scream' I can't. I've never heard anything like it, before or since. Part human, part animal Pain Fear. Certainly wasn't happy. I can kind of imitate it, but I can't describe it.

Let me also take a break here and describe the terrain. The houses stepped up the street, each one higher than the other. They had a lot above ours, but it was too small to build on and they sold it to my dad and he put a pool on it. That lot was even with the window in my room so my window looked out on the pool. 

The hill behind both lots started very quickly up (steep) for about 30 feet to a small drainage ditch and then both were surrounded by a chicken wire fence we had put up to enclose both lots. Beyond that, thick, impenetrable sage brush. We owned that land but were never able to use it. You couldn't walk through it and the sage brush covered the entire hill south and east of the house. 

The fire department occasionally came and cleared a little back from the drainage ditch, but it always grew back quickly. The hill went straight up for hundreds of yards to the houses on the top of the hill, which you could neither see or hear.

At this point we heard the scream coming from a point near a phone electric pole that was in the middle of the hill (50 yards away maybe). It screamed again and the 3 of us didn't need to hear it again to know it was time to get dad involved so we ran downstairs. A thought occurred to me - where are the dogs? I went left out to the garage and my brother and ex went right, into the living room.

I opened the back garage door (somewhat hesitant I might add). Usually at this point, I'm bowled over by a lovable, but hyper, 120 pound male German Sheppard who's favorite thing is to bound inside or in the garage and destroy everything in his tails path. But no dogs and then a scream up the hill to the left and I closed the door and headed inside.

My dad and brother were at the front door going out as I came in so I followed them outside. They went down the driveway while I went over to the gate on the west side of the house to see if I could find the dogs. I rattled the gate, and still no dogs but I heard the scream again, at the edge of our property, about near the drainage ditch. I went back to the front of the house and could see my brother and dad standing on the sidewalk in front of the 2nd lot, looking up at the hill.

I saw my dad and brother flinch down and the scream was thunderous. By far, the loudest we had heard, and the house was blocking me. My dad and brother came running up the driveway, asking me if I'd seen the fireballs (which I hadn't). They said 2 blue fireballs came shooting over their heads and hit the hill and immediately the thing screamed it's shriek. This was the only time in my life I saw my dad scared.

We all went inside and I tried to call my cousin next door, but nobody answered the phone. My Dad then decided to call the police and he reported something was up on our hill to the Thousand Oaks PD. At that point, the 3 of us went out the back door with a flashlight to look for the dogs. The thing had stopped screaming after the fireball incident to the best of my memory, but it wasn't screaming now. We found both dogs in the doghouse, shaking. We finally got them out and into the garage.

Quick note about the dogs. Anything near the property, they went nuts on. Rabbits or birds? An hour bark-a-thon. They protected that yard relentlessly, but what ever was up there this night, they wanted no part of.

My dad, brother and I went back out front and heard nothing. We stayed out there, one of us going inside every few minutes to check on things. An officer arrived about 8:30 and my dad somewhat told him what was going on (He was a Korean war vet so he wasn't going to the unexplained just yet).

The officer stayed for a while, shined his spotlight on the hill and of course not a peep. I'd say he left after 20 minutes to 1/2 hour. We went back inside and talked about it for a while then we went upstairs.

Now it got weird. We were upstairs for a while (an hour maybe less) when we thought we heard it again. We went to the window and it screamed again just as we got there, loud from behind the main house. I ran downstairs and yelled at my dad, I remember him sitting in his chair and Johnny Carson was doing his monologue so it was between 11:30 and 12:00. They were always in bed by 12:30 - 1:00 on work nights.

We ran upstairs, met my ex and brother at the top of the stairs, and headed into my folks bathroom which had the best vantage point at the back hill with a south facing window. I got there first and listened for a few seconds when suddenly a large scream bellowed forth followed by a very loud electronic 'beep'. My dad was at my side and I said 'Listen, I heard a beep' and on queue, loud scream - beep. It had moved about 5 feet east at that point with no sound (remember the sagebrush) and then it did it a third time (scream - beep) and had moved a little further. 

My ex was screaming about somebody putting a needle in her belly button (The Betty/Barney Hill movie had aired about a month ago) so I stepped back to the door to comfort her, I saw this blinding white light that seemed to fill the house and then we are all standing in the hallway and going off in different directions to go to bed. My brother decided he wanted to sleep in the chair instead of alone and when we got into my bedroom I saw the clock said 4:30 exactly. I remember I could hear the screams now from there original point by the poles on the hill, but we all went to sleep.

Everybody went to work the next morning, but I called in sick cause my ex didn't want to stay there alone. I went up the hill to the east of the property as far as I could get and there were 2 circular patterns in a clearing where there were weeds, about 8 feet in diameter. That was all I saw and that was the end of that.

A woman who worked at my mothers work (an optometrist's office) told her that day she was driving up Erbes road about 7:30 that night when she saw 2 cars stopped on Erbes with people looking up at our hill, and she looked and saw a bright white light hovering over the hill east of our house, and then it just disappeared.

Aftermath:

We talked to my cousin next door and they heard nothing (I have no explanation because they should have, that thing was LOUD) and they said they were home and never heard the phone ring.

The male German Sheppard went fast. He was 5 years old, and in the weeks following the incident, he lost control of his nervous system to the point he couldn't function and was put to sleep. The vet said he had no idea what was wrong with him. The female went blind (7 years old) over the next few months and she too was put to sleep.

My dad seemed to age rapidly for the next year and 1/2 and died of a heart attack at a company picnic in August 1977.

My daughter was born normally, but has had a few 'strange' incidents and I watched her lose her baby teeth then get in her adult teeth, only to lose them all at age 12 and get a third set of teeth, The dentist said it wasn't happening but we know it did.

A few months after the encounter, I went and laid down after work and spiked a 106 temperature. I was sick for a year, was put in the hospital and tested for hepatitis and cancer but they had no idea what was wrong with me. The only thing they told me was my blood work showed some irregularity and I was told not to give blood.

The lady that worked with my mom quit unexpectedly that day and I never had a chance to ask her about it as she committed suicide shortly there after.

That's it. The scream and fireballs were strange, but the fact we all went to bed and didn't seem to care that our 10 minutes in the bathroom turned into 4 hours was maybe the strangest. I have no explanation for any of it.

This was hard to write about. I had to stop once and thinking about it still causes Goosebumps.

A couple of days after that my dad, brother and I were on our front yard talking about this encounter, when my dad told us the following story. He joined the Air Force in 1950 after 2 years at the University of Minnesota and spent some time in Korea as a jet mechanic and then came stateside and was stationed at Sioux City Iowa, were he was trained as a radar technician. 

One night in 1954 the whole base went on alert suddenly and he was told there was an unknown object coming from the north. They got a radar reading that it was at 50000-80000 feet and traveling in excess of 1,200 mph (I recall him saying 1,800 mph but my brother said 1200 so we'll go with that). 

It went off the screen to the south, and everybody in the room was told to forget it even happened. He never told us about that before, but my mom confirmed today that he told her about it the next day (he was on the overnight shift).
