my sighting began saturday evening sept 12 at 7:56 pm. my wife my two nephews and myself were sitting on our deck out back of our house . myself and my two nephews were sitting on chairs at the table. my wife was standing against the deck rail about three feet from me. it was a crystal cleae warm night. as i was talking to my wife, i noticed a small white ball appear in the sky to the right of my wifes head. it was about three houses down from mine and about one hundred feet high. asi was watching this thing icouldnt understand what was playing out to me as i watched. my nephews started screaming what in the world is that. as we watched the ball of light started to stretch out into a big flat teardropimage that was being blown up from another dimension. it looked like this thing was being filled up with bright white particles. the whole time this sparkly stuff was being blown into this tear drop shaped object it was flapping like a flag blowing in the wind.thirty seconds after being inflated with this bright shiney particles, itwas a large whitish yellow ball about fifteen to twenty foot round sphere just sitting still in the sky.

a few seconds after this sphere developed, a dark bluish purple mist or fog like substance started eminating from the bottom of this sphere. after about fifteen seconds of this mist coming out the bottom of this thing, theonly thing you could see was the top two thirds of the sphere sticking out the top of this fog.after another ten seconds of this fog coming out the bottom of this sphere it covered the sphere completely. at that very second these very bright spot lights shot out the bottom of this sphere. it looked like it ha very bright shiny glitter inside the beam of light that wentthe whole way down to the ground. after sitting there for about forty five seconds with thespot light shing down, the spotlight and the sphere blinked out at the exact same time. the only thing left was the blue mist. we thought clouds rolled in because we couldnt see any stars. the color of the fog was the exact same color as the night time sky. the fog took about twenty seconds to dissapate. when it was gone, it was like nothing was ever there.i am stll amazed with what happened.my wife is a non beleiver and keeps saying it was an airplane or helicopter or blimp. I forgot to mention that there was no sound at all. it was completely silent. i still sit out back hoping it reappears.my wife thinks im crazy, but i think i am lucky to have experience this sighting.
