I had a close encounter. It is still absolutely fresh in my mind close to twenty years later. A friend of mine and I were sitting in my car outside my grandparents house about 1am listening to music when the sky started to glow. I was kind of leaning out the window already and basically climbed out of the window to get a look at this thing that I could only describe as a spacecraft. It was the shape of an isosceles triangle with maybe 100 rectangular lights on the bottom/face. It moved as if it were approaching our car and then just as smoothly moved away and off into the clear night sky. The car stereo quit playing and the 'craft' was completely silent the entire time. It went from the nearest point to out of sight in about five seconds. It was faster than any man-made vehicle. My friend saw it too, but not as well as he did not start looking as soon as I did.
It still gives me goose bumps to tell the story. And, like most people who describe any kind of close encounter, I have no desire to argue whether UFO's 'exist' or not. I know what I saw. It was real...... I can only describe what I saw, I can't explain it. Obviously, no one can. It affected me a lot at the time. I was like Dreyfuss in CE3K, I was drawing this image in the margins of my homework and when I closed my eyes I would see it again and again. To this day, my friend and I still talk about it when we get together and we certainly shared something that not many people can say they have.
Hope this contributes to your research. I have searched for a UFO thread on TFP before and didn't see one. It is a hard subject to bring up cold. People either think you're nuts or looking for attention.
