I am 43 now. When I was approx 8, my aunt, who owned a quarter-horse farm about 20 mins from our home in the 'burbs, called and said a blue light just landed in one of her fields. My dad (ex-AirForce officer w/at least Top Secret clearance) got very excited and said,"Come on! - Lets get in the car!" On the way to my aunt's farm, we stopped on the side of the road, high on a bluff looking down oever a valley. The night sky was crystal clear. We looked around for a few mins and we noticed a dull glow in the distance. It was defined in two dimension, as it started either approaching us or growing in size. It was the approx shape of a tube-type TV screen, but with no depth. Kind of a square shape (but not quite) with rounded corners. The interior of the shape was a kind of gaseous glow. Its almost as if a beam of light, a very, very dull beam of light was cut into, and the beam could not travel past the "screen". The object grew larger and larger or perhaps closer and closer, to the point that it felt like we were in front of a drive-in movie screen. My mother, who is and was a quite normal person, began freaking out, shoutng to my dad, "Get my kids out of here!". My brother, who was about 10 at he time, and I, were crying along with her. I remember my dad getting angry that he had to pull away, and punched it and gravel flying everywhere. We proceeded to my aunt o "debreif" her, but didnt see anthing out there. I wrote a paper about it for my third grade class and drew a picture as well. I think my mom still has it somewhere as I remember seeing it in the last few years. Anyway, it still amazes me that whatever we saw, it was enough to freak out a grown woman and amaze an ex- AF officer with a pretty high clearance. Would love to know if anyone has ever seen anything similar or has any comments. Thanks for allowing me to share....

That's pretty amazing. Did it remain in 2 dimensions the entire time?

When did you notice it "not there?"

Do you really remember this...I mean not just stories you hear told about when growing up but "really" remember?

Get the picture from your mom, I mean I really need to see that.

Thanks for sharing.

That sounds pretty crazy. Could you draw some pictures to give us a better idea of what you saw? The whole "2D" aspect of it is interesting.

When I hear a story like this I have to wonder if there were ever any others who perhaps did not flee such a thing and are no longer here to be writing about it in an internet discussion group?

God bless caring, logical mothers!

What state did this take place in? Was it in the USA?

Thank you for posting about it. Would also love to see your drawing of it sometime.
