Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.
Date: Fall of 1990.
Time: Approxamtlty 8:00 p.m.
I did report this
about 2 years ago to Larry Hatch, I'm not sure why I waited so long, but for
some reason it really started to occupy my thoughts. We had several emails
about it and he seemed very interested, he eventually referred me to someone
from the Michigan Mutual UFO Network, he emailed me a few times and that was
it.
To tell you the truth
I just felt better telling someone that had an interest in it, but I'm not sure
if the guy either believed me, or just wasn't interested. I will give you a
brief summery, to me this was the most unusual event in my life and I still
think about it daily.
It was the Fall of
1990, yes, 16 years ago! I was in my home in Almont, MI. That time of year it
gets dark quite early, it must of been around 8:00 p.m., "the times are
now just an approximation".
My son, who at the
time was around 12 came running in the house saying there was a UFO right
outside our house. Let me add at this point I was not one that believed in
UFOs. I went outside and my son pointed south and upwards and said look!
The funny thing was
at first I didn't see anything, but I did notice it was unusually dark, then I
noticed a very dim light, I suddenly realized that the reason it was so dark
was that there was a huge craft right over our driveway.
It was at tree level
and was moving north and a very slow pace, "approximately a slow walking
speed". There was a very distinct humming, exactly like a large
transformers hums, there was a very dull light in the middle and as it traveled
down or driveway I made out a row of windows around the craft, the windows
looked very large.
I remember walking
down the driveway with my son, then the next thing I remember is standing out
in the field north of my house still looking at the UFO, when suddenly it went
from approximately 90 or 100 feet straight up in the sky to where it was a
pinpoint of light. It just looked like another star.
This happened in
under a second. We continued to watch it for quite awhile when it took off in a
northwesterly direction like a meteor and was gone in a second. There are allot
of things I can describe if your interested, but this is the basic part.
I don't feel like I
was abducted, but I honestly do not remember how I got from my driveway and
then in the field. I ask my son about it and he remembers things the way I do,
but what I find unusual is that 1. I didn't really focus on it that much after
the initial day it happened until a few years ago. 2. My son doesn't seem as
interested as I am, even though he is a very intelligent guy.
I was a flight
simulator instructor in the air force and I have allot of knowledge regarding
aircraft. This will always go down as the most bizarre day in my life. By the
way, it seemed like I was being watched by someone in the window, but it was
like you could only make out a shadow.
I am now fascinated
by UFO's and I know that there out there. Please, if you have any more
questions feel free to ask. Almont is about 20 SE of Brown City. I have never
seen another unusual craft. This was defiantly a UFO, there is no other
explanation for it, I am the type of guy that checks his facts, there is
nothing on our planet that I am aware of that could do what I saw! The pilots
would be dead just from the G forces.
It surprises me that
there have been so many incidences in that area and I never heard about it.
From my house to the field was approximately 1000 feet, " you would think
that with what was going on, I would remember that sort of distance".
I am not really
concerned weather anyone believes me or not, unless it is someone that is
suppose to investigate this sort of thing. They really need to have an open
mind and check the facts. The last few years I have gotten increasingly
interested in this subject and there have only been a few incidences that I
have read about where people have been as close as I was. I guess I am just
intrigued. It really fascinates me!
I was so close, 90 feet.
The funny thing about it was I didn't feel threatened, In a weird way I felt
like it was something from our future, as bizarre as that sounds. I feel that
we need to have confidence in our instincts, I felt like I was on display and
really being watched.
One thing I didn't
mention and to this day I am not sure why I didn't act, is that I am a
professional photographer. What a dummy! the shot of a life time and I didn't
even think about it. This is another thing I cant explain, I take my cameras
everywhere with me.
The first ten years,
I would occasionally ask my son if he remembered everything about that night
and he would say yes, but not really want to talk about it. It seemed like more
of a dream. WHY?
Neither my son or I
am the type of person not to act on something so significant, an event of a
life time. Another factor about that night was the route the craft was
traveling, right down my driveway.
My power lines go
right down the drive and sometime that winter I had to call Edison out, they
told me that the wires were completely bare" no insulation at all",
and had to replace them, including the transformer. I am not sure if it relates,
but I have read stories about these craft using power lines.
Thank you to the
witness for this excellent and interesting sighting report.
