EDITOR'S NOTE: The witness not sure of the exact date. The date given is an approximation.
As it came from behind a nearby tree into clearer view, we saw a brightly lit disc-shaped craft now moving very slowly towards us at what I estimate was about twenty miles per hour! As the craft flew past us at around 200 yards away, it was perfectly circular, about thirty to forty feet in diameter. It was glowed, bright white in color, with a hint of yellow. But, you could look directly at it without any eye strain.
It continuted moving silently toward Nubbin Slough where it came to a stop about 250 yards away. There, it hovered motionless over the levee. It started to descend and as it did, the disc dimmed and the craft became very dark except for two small square lights, one each side.
Though it was dark, we could still see the craft as there lot of light in the haze behind it from the well lit power plant located about fifteen miles away. Honestly, it looked like a vaudeville straw hat in the on-edge view.
As I watched it, I thought to myself, "This craft was not one of ours!" Just after I thought this, something happened and the next thing I knew we had turned to go back into the house!
We came back out a few minutes later to look for it and it was still visible. It appeared to be glowing over the levee about two miles down, past Nubbin toward the southeast and Indiantown. Again, we turned away with it still in view and went back into the house. Strangely, the clock read 9:45 PM. We immediately turned in for the night without saying a word and the next morning, neither of us mentioned the experience... Not a word!
I am no pedestrian to technology and have earned an education in multiple scientific disciplines. We had binoculars, a camera, and a two and a half inch refracting telescope all within five yards of the door from where we stood watching all of this unfold before us, but we just stood there... seemingly unable to function, or act on our own will. The best I could do was look... and wonder. Richard G.
