TIME: sometime in 2007 LOCATION: Ithaca, NY Hello all, I am not knowledgeable about UFOs and thus seeking illumination about my experience from this community. I recently watched the documentary The Phenomenon, which got me thinking about an experience I had almost 20 years ago in college. I've told some people throughout the years, most of whom have responded with, "That's crazy!" but nothing more substantive. Curious what you all might have to share. My friend and I were running north of Cornell University's campus, along a footpath through some fields. It was late-ish, around 9PM. All of a sudden, I looked up—not sure what prompted that?—and saw some sort of circular aircraft. It didn't have lights, and in fact, I could actually see (seemingly) through it to the night sky above. Even so, I could still make out its contours—almost as though it were camouflaged, but not perfectly so. The surface almost seemed ripply; that is, undulating. I pointed up at it and yelled at my friend, "You see that, right?" He responded, "Yes!" And we both kind of yelped and freaked out. That's when it basically zoomed up and away, as if it were connected to some hyper-fast sky elevator. And...that's about it. Does this sound like some sort of military craft? Or is it more reminiscent of sightings you know about? Thanks. submitted by /u/hanashitamae [link] [comments]
