It was about 9:00 pm in Houston, TX around 1974, my dad, mother and I
would visit my Grandparents every Saturday night and go out to dinner (NO
drinking). We had a pleasant time and we started our drive home. It was a
completely clear black night, not much traffic. We approached our
neighborhood and we drove down the blocks getting closer to our house. My
dad all of a sudden yelled "oh my GOD", "Oh my GOD", Mom said, "What, what
is it?" He said, "Look up in the sky!" My mom said, "Oh my God stop the
car!" We got out of the car and hovering over the car about 100 feet
directly above us was a huge glowing round object, neon orange ball
shaped, No fire edges, No lights beaming, No shadow on the ground from
light, just a smooth glowing opaque finish. It was probably the size of
the AstroDome (football stadium) it was hovering without a sound, in
complete silence it was over the car, it looked circular in shape but it
was so huge we could not see the sides or above it. It completely covered
our entire neighborhood as we stood there with our mouths hanging open, we
stood still watching and for what seemed forever (about 15 seconds) it
didn't make a move as if it were staring back at us. Then without a sound,
without wind or streak or motion, in less than a blink of the eye it was a
million miles away we could barely see it anymore, a small orange glowing
dot in the sky with the stars over to the left, and then without a streak
in a blink of an eye it was miles over to the right and then it was gone.
The craziest most unbelievable thing we had ever seen. This was No kooky
silver teeter-tottering flying saucer you see in videos of UFO's, this
filled the entire sky and it was low hovering above our car. When it was
gone my dad looked over and saw two teenage girls walking down the street
and he asked them if they saw it too, and they replied, "Yeah of course,
but no-one will ever believe us." We then jumped back in the car in
amazement, mostly in shock, Dad said he was calling the newspapers, he's
calling everyone, he would have it broadcast on the news. We raced home
ran into the house. He got on the phone and the lines were busy, and when
the line finally freed the newsman said sorry sir we have had an overload
of calls about this UFO. I am sure we were just considered a bunch of nut
cases. I NEVER thought it was Aliens or anything like that, I always
figured the government was working on something classified. I have NEVER
seen any photos on the net or otherwise even slightly similar to this
particular UFO (round, SMOOTH, ORANGE glowing).
