Foreign Object Just Whizzing By Lights Up the Sky in the Summer of the Late 60's
A friend of mine and I were discussing the upcoming sighting of Mars sometime in August of 2005, and upon talking about that, it made me recall an incident when I was a young child of seeing what I can only refer to as a UFO sighting.
I told my friend about this, and while she "believed" me, just for a little more verification, she found this site and also saw someone else around my age who remembers seeing something similar at around the same time! -- She then brought it to my attention, and I was so excited about it, that I decided to now post my recollection of what
I saw on that summer evening probably sometime in the late 60's! Unfortunately, since I was so young at the time, I cannot really recall the exact date or time of when I actually saw it, but it is a safe bet to say it was definitely in the late 60's, and it was definitely in the evening and in the summer. My guess would be around August of 1966 or 1967 at around 7:30 PM or so.
My Aunt and I were in the living room in our home in Queens, New York and all of a sudden we heard this extremely loud noise of something flying over the house -- though, it was not the same type of sound like an airplane, a helicopter or even a blimp makes, though, if I were to pick which one of these it resembled in sound the most, I'd have to say a blimp, though, it's hard to describe the sound really, but it was very loud, and it was different, so we both ran together to the front porch window and we both looked out just in time to see this huge object that had just flown over our house.
As I recall, it was long and left a beautiful redish and greenish color streaked across the sky as it passed. It was actually travelling quite fast, and was also flying quite low -- at least what had looked to me to be much lower than I had ever seen any plane fly in the sky at that time. As I recall, the front end of the object was like a big, red diamond-like shape object attached to what looked to me like a long rod-type of thing, and the bottom had a green diamond-like shape attached to it, which, as I also recall, was quite smaller in size than the red diamond-like shape. -- (It's actually been so long since I saw the object, that it could also very well have been visa versa -- the green diamond-like object could've been on the front end of the rod-like object and could've been the bigger one in size and the red one could've been in the back, and have been the smaller diamond-like object -- I'm not really 100% sure about that anymore -- but I do remember very vividly the red and green colors and how bright both shapes were, and how diamond-like in shape that they both were and how extremely loud the object was as it flew over my house -- almost like it vibrated the house a little as it flew over it!) As I also recalled at that time, there was some mention on the news about there being spottings of people seeing a foreign object, so we really weren't completely shocked by the sighting, but just real excited about seeing it! As it passed over more houses, it became out of sight, so I quickly ran upstairs and looked out my hallway window, but lost sight of the object after that. However, as I said before, it left a beautiful streak of red and green in the sky, which lasted for a little while!
My Aunt is deceased now, so I cannot ask her what her recollection of the sighting was, and if she remembered anything different than I did. -- But even today, I still get excited when I recall the sighting!
I think it would be very nice if you had some kind of message board or something like that on this site where people who have had similar sightings could talk back and forth with each about them if they choose to, as it's kind of nice to know that I'm not alone in what I saw back then! I also never even knew that this site existed until my friend just brought it to my attention.... But I'm glad at least for the opportunity to post my recollection of the sighting -- and I thank you very much!
