I
was walking my dog Ruff (a 9 year old toy poodle
cross) sometime between 10:30 and 11:00 PM. We
normally walk to the mail boxes down Notch Hill
Road. But on this day we had already picked up the
mail in the afternoon, so we walked up Mackenzie
Road like we do on the weekends.
As we
entered Mackenzie Road off Notch Hill Road I
noticed an orange / red glow just at the bend in
the road about 300 feet from my location (this
section of the road has quite a rise). I flashed
my flashlight on the object and it started to
rise, I would guess about (1/2) one half a foot
per second. It continued to rise and I watched it
all the time not taking my eyes off it. The object
was spherical about 1.5 feet to 2 feet across and
about 1 foot to 1.5 feet high. The orange / red
glow was a band around the middle about 4 to 6
inches high and extending to the outside edges of
the sphere. The band at the extremities of the
sphere was vertical so the sphere appeared to have
two black or dark half moons on the top and
bottom. There were 2 connecting sections between
the top and bottom that I could see obscuring the
orange / red glow. See the drawing for the shape
of the connecting sections. The glowing section on
the edges was vertical, there appeared to be no
vertical connections on the outside edges. The
object did not turn, only went up at the rate
noted previously. The rise was not vertical but up
at an angle, kind of towards the moon which was
behind me and a bit to my right hand side. When it
was almost past me and about 400 to 500 feet above
me, I shone my flashlight on it to see if I could
get a better look. As soon as the light hit it, it
disappeared.
The
walk was very short, as I wanted to get home to
tell my wife about the incident. After telling my
wife about the strange experience, it was time to
take our other dog AJ out for a moment (he is a
standard poodle just over one year old). We don't
walk him on the road. Anyway when he came out he
ran to the driveway entrance and went haywire,
barking like mad and running back and forth. I
shone the light all over the place, but could not
see anything. I finally calmed him down and we
went in. The next morning, he ran straight out to
the drive entrance and looked again. He has never
barked like that before or since.
Two
days later I had a flashback. I could remember
other details that I just seemed to have forgotten
because I was so intent on looking at the rising
sphere (UFO). When I had first shone my flashlight
on the glowing object, I remembered seeing a pair
of green eyes flash for a moment, they were fairly
far apart and below the sphere. I also remembered
seeing an extraterrestrial crawling away from the
glowing sphere. It appeared to be on what I would
call its knees and elbows, as I could see the dark
shadows of what would have been hands and feet. It
appeared to be having difficulty in moving, and
was almost dragging the part that I would have
called its feet. The head was up above the arms
but I did not have my light on it at the time, so
I did not get a view of the features. The other
item that I remembered, was as I shone my
flashlight on the sphere when it was up above me,
the glowing orange / red light went out and I
momentarily saw a silver grey object before it
disappeared.
I did
go back to look at the site the next day and the
day after. There were no signs on the road, but
the grass on the side of the road was bent down as
though something had gone through there. I looked
but saw nothing.
