On a hot summer afternoon my son and I chanced to meet her downtown as we came out of a store. She was almost shaking she was so unnerved. She had just seen something so unusual she could not handle it.
She had been in one of the lots behind the store when she saw a huge inverted vortex form in the sky above her. She thought she was going to be sucked into it. It was huge. Radiating out from the inverted vortex were ripples of light that looked like ripples of water that spread all across the sky.
Flying around this were several saucers. She had the distinct impression the saucers were using the inverted vortex for something.
She watched it for several minutes.
After all these years I do not remember all the details. I never wrote it down. I was very dismayed at the time since if I had been outdoors at the time I could have seen it too.
It took a while for me to calm her down.
Since it had just happened everything was fresh in her memory. I rather doubt if she ever was able to remove that image from her memory.
It never occurred to me at the time to ask anyone else if they had seen anything. There were no people around to ask. It was a very quiet afternoon.
My son and I went home hopefully watching the sky for another inverted vortex to form. We were very disappointed.
Imagine my surprise when a couple of months ago I chanced to talk to a man who had an almost identical experience approximately in 1995 in July at about ten at night.
If humans had ears that could stand straight up like a dogs ears mine would have.
The man told me about an experience his cousin, brother and himself had in July 1995 at about ten in the evening. It had shaken them up. He said it felt like something of biblical proportions.
His family is very close and on a lot of summer evening the entire family would have dinner at his grandparents. This particular evening the family had gathered for one of their dinners.
One of their favorite pastimes was star watching.To avoid the lights of the house the young man, his brother and cousin walked about a quarter mile down the country lane to where there was a side road.
There were no trees or building close to them and an open pasture for over a mile and a half in front of them. I did a google search of the area.
The side road ran north to south through a pasture. About a mile and a quarter down the side road the hills started up. The side road then ran along the front of the hills for about a mile before it turned up into the hills.
