I had a real interaction with a UFO back on August 12th 1986. Unlike many who see UFOs by themselves or from an extreme distance, I had the pleasure of seeing it with my mother and from a distance of no more than 15 or 20 ft, if that. it hovered in front of my mother and I for about 10-15 minutes. I detail everything in the video below I spoke to my mother after I posted this video, and she said that it was white lights, not Roy G Biv lights as I stated in the video. I was 9 when it happened, so my memory was a tad bit off on the specific details. Amazingly enough, I was telling a group of coworkers this story and one of them was googling (I thought he was working and wouldn't paying attention) and found that there was a James E. Oberg report of sightings up and down the east coast on that day. When I initially told the story to them, I knew it was in August because it was right before school started but I didn't know what day. I remembered this because we had a flexible bedtime during the summer, but about 2 weeks before school started, my mother got us back on schedule, going to bed at around 9:00 p.m. I couldn't sleep, I'm a night owl even today 40 years later, and I saw the UFO through my parents window at first, then from our back porch where it hovered. My story (the video below) contains absolutely no lies exaggerations or Fabrications. For something that sized to make as much noise as a microwave turned on back in 1986 was wild. to have a UFO hover in front of you for 10 to 15 minutes easily the craziest experience of my life. Few people even get an opportunity to see one, but that close, and for that long... Had I seen it by myself I would have doubted it to this day. Was I dreaming or something? But seeing it with my mother, seeing it with someone I could talk to today and we could reminisce about it is pretty phenomenal. Date/time: August 12th 1986 approximately 9:30 pm Location: Cleveland on Robertson Ave across the street from Miles Elementary School https://youtu.be/2R23c6893mE?feature=shared submitted by /u/godofwine77 [link] [comments]
