Denise, Alan, and Una's View

On Wednesday evening, April 6, at approximately 8:55 pm, I was leaving a beauty shop near the corner of 17 & 92 and 436 where I hold meditation classes. I looked across the street and up in the sky above an abandoned plaza (K-Mart) and spotted a round gray object motionless. It had a mist swirling around it in places and was at least three times the size of a full moon at arms length and at a height of 500 ft. The mist was heavy at the bottom of it. It remained motionless for a minute and then seemed to be floating.

My Mom and nephew got in the car with me and we crossed the street to the empty plaza parking lot to watch it for a minute and then continued on. Another friend had driven past the plaza to the left onto 436 and stopped in front of a Books-a-Million to get another view of it as it moved closer to 436 (remaining at the same altitude). From her angle she could see the bottom of the dome - it was disc shaped or long off both sides of the portion we were watching. The mist passed and she watched as sparkly lights appeared on the bottom like the glitter she put on my nails (she is one of the owners of the beauty shop and the nail tech.). The lights sparkled for a few seconds and then the whole thing kind of popped and disappeared. I might be able to get the shop owner to draw what she saw.

The sky was clear, no clouds, no moon at that time of night with a scattering of stars. We could see one plane in the sky quite a way off and we watched one helicopter flying in the distance. No other aircraft in the air near this object. It was clear enough and low enough to know this was NOT a blimp. We were in the city and the sky was lit up by city lights with no fog.

We were going to an IHOP on 436 a short distance to eat as we always do and when we got out in the parking lot we searched all over the sky and could not locate the object again.   [Estimated height was 60 ft.]

Una:  Nice large Full Moon. When I first saw it I would say it was at 70 degrees in the sky rather than straight up and I did not see it moving. I am not sure of the distance up in height. It was a dark metallic color with mist around it. The mist kept clearing spaces so I could see the craft clearly behind and the gray metal color. No other distinguishing markings.

Everyone was talking but I had a conversation with my Grandson, Alan. He said to me - "Now you have seen a UFO" and I commented back as my mind studied the craft "No, it is not a UFO" - he responded "Oh, yes it is" - I continued to watch it and knowing it was said to him "okay, it is". I really thought I would like it to come closer and said so to the group as we moved to the car just a few steps away."

Ramona's View

Ramona saw what I (Denise) saw at first only the size of a regular full moon because she thinks it was already moving away from us towards the shopping center she drove to - to observe it. She entered her car and drove at an angle to our car and around the side of another open shopping center but not a busy one. She parked outside a small restaurant and looked above the building. She saw a horse shoe shaped (our original moon object) with a huge "between a cigar and disk"
attachment on the bottom. It had blunt ends. The bottom portion was gray and that part did glow.

The whole thing had moved higher and over the shopping plaza building area she was parked in front of. While she watched, sparkly, glitter like "stuff" began to fall from the object. It came from all over and when it fell pretty heavily she describes all of a sudden "it went POP" visually, not audibly and "it" was gone. Not of a sign of it any more.

Steve, the 5th person, didn't see anything.

"I really don't remember a sighting. I remember there was some discussion when we were standing outside of Ramona's place after meditation. I am blank on it other than that".

"As to the missing time: It was about 3 weeks ago. I had conked out in my recliner watching TV and woke up and got ready for bed as it was around 12:15 am or so. I was restless and kept looking at the clock radio. I was thinking about things, work etc. and did that for quite some time. I remembered looking at the clock and it was about maybe 1:00 or 1:30. I looked at it again after what seemed like a short time and it was 3:41 (if memory serves me). It was like "damn, what's up with that?". You know how it feels when you wake up during the night; and it didn't feel that way at all. There was no "sleep paralysis" or anything like that. I felt clear and alert also instead of groggy like when you aren't fully awake. This is the only instance I can remember of that happening. It wasn't a lucid dream because that feels entirely different. I do notice a presence at night sometimes but I assume they are guides or other "friendlies".
