Eyewitness


To steal a stale catchphrase, "we report, you decide". My inbox has been a little slow lately so I was surprised to find this account waiting for me.

On the subject of the anonomus ladies photo graph of a daylight flying disc sighting.I reported a evening sighting of simular proportion.Either a day befor or two. I was watching the sky out my second story bay window. Around, If I remember correctly 9ishPM.When out of my porifrial vision I noticed a faint twinkling light. with rapid flashes.Faster than normal plains.So I ask my wife to verify if she could see it.Meanwhile I grabbed my binocks (binoculars)Where I located the object.I proceded to follow it.It moved closer to me from the south.As it did i could see it clearer .It appeared to be round and flying on it's side with the lights toward me .It had lights in the same area as the pic.from the ladies camera.It seemed to move in pulse like manuvers.And each time it would pause .A white small light would tick around the craft in a counter clock direction.It had a small red light that did not blink .And stayed in the original location on the craft during the entire event.It gave me the impression it was mapping or takeing pictures.Tho that is purely speculation on my part.This sighting lasted 4 to 5 minutes.Until it moved out of the frame of my bay window .Where i was unable to see it any further.I ran downstairs to see if i could relocate it .But was unable because of the parking lights from the now defunct Kmart store. this sighting was in Fond du lac Wi.54935 last February2003 My name is Phillip R. I reported it to ufowi but never saw my report on the site maybe I did it wrong.I generally do things once and then move on with my life. But Im compelled to bring this back up.Now that that Has been accomplished.Moveing on with my life .Thank you for your time.And consideration Yours Truly Phillip R. Good luck

Okay, maybe 5 mails in the last month. It's a lonely place, my inbox. I'll bite. I give a little encouragement and ask a few more questions. The response:

Did my wife see it and think it was unusual?. No she wouldnt budge from the computer. Did it blink when it pulsed ?. Yes the lights went out.Then reappeared in another place. Yet the craft was moveing/pulsing only after the little light ticked it's way around the craft/balloon/swamp gas/ect. counter clock wise. Do I Think it moved unlike millitary aircraft or choppers/ect?. Im ex millitary.I see a plane It's a plane I hear a plane it's a plane ect. I was watching it thru 10x50 binocks which is 50xmagnificationx10 degrees angle 7's are even more flat. The ladies camera was probibly a three x very flat.This is my oppinion on the ufo phenomina . Should you report it to the Police.NO! should you report it to the Millitary .No! If one crashed and you were the first one to a crash site.Grab as much evidence as you can and get the hell out of there.Because the only person that will know the truth is you.The government and it's agencies will cover it up as allways.The only way we will ever know for sure what they are. For those who dont already know .Is thru the experience of being there.Our minds try to put into perspective. Things we are not fimiliar with.Some people embelish what they see to make their lives more colorful.And some just plain out lie.It is good to aproach things sientificly (hope I spelled that right) Which means no pre dissposed oppinion and the outcome is reached only by the facts that can be proven. Which leads back to square one(speculation) Because the as soon as the millitary moves in the evidence dissapears never to be seen by the population as a whole.There reasoning is. We are not intelligint enough to handle it.And that is why Im very careful not to put myself into positions. I have to explain weather or not it was a craft from outerspace I do not know if it came from that direction. I only saw it after it was here.Was it a millitary craft? Anything is possible.Was it a spaceship from somewhere else.maybe! All that I do Know about it is it was something. This 48 year old man has not seen befor.Atleast not this one this close.Thank you for your time and you quick response.I truly appreaciate your time.Yours Truly Phillip R.

Analysis? I may be a sucker, but at least the story and poor spelling/grammar are consistent and the sender is good-natured. Probably the part I appreciate most is the opinion that makes up the bulk of the last mail. In fact, I like it so much and have too much time, so I'm going to paraphrase:

... The only way we will understand what they are is through the experience of being there. Our minds try to put into perspective things we aren't familiar with: some people embellish what they see and some people just lie. It is best to approach things without pre-formed opinion, and decide based on the merits of the facts. ... I am careful not to put myself in a position stating whether or I not I think what I saw was a craft from outer space. Was it a military craft? Maybe. Was it from somewhere else? Anything is possible. All I know is it's something I've never seen before.

Until the next quirky message that hits my inbox...
