a friend and i were walking north thru a field between afton road and and the kruger golf course to meet a third friend. the sky was clear with no clouds and visibility was very good. we were walking paralell to and approximatley 30 yds from the road with the houses along the road blocking our veiw at first until we reached a point where the distance between houses was approximately 50 yds. we were then able to see across the rock river in a so. easterly direction at an estimated distance of 1/2 mile: two disc shaped craft that were identical in appearance, in excess of 30 ft. in dia., with vertical rectangular reddish orange or amber lights rotating counterclockwise at an altitude of at least 300 ft. and silently moving so./so.east at a speed of at least 50 mph. the lead craft was slightly lower in altitude by about 20 ft. the distance between them horizontally was less than 50 ft. they flew directly over the fairbanks morse engine div. foundry on hwy. 51 at which point we lost visual contact. our dialog consisted of awwww maaaannn!!! wwwoooowwww!!! you see what i see ? yeh, but what do we do now?... no one would beleive us, but you know what? i dont care cuz we got to see it and thats all that matters! Now my eyes have been searching the night sky ever since i was 17. Im now 42 and ill always stare into infinity wondering, will i ever see anything like that again? My friend and i remain close after all these years, and have talked of returning to that same spot with camcorders in hand..........just in case!!!
