I saw very strange lites in the sky one night that seemed to hypnotise me for a half an hour.
Joe Late august of 1964, I went to my neighborhood buddys house to lift weights about 3 blocks away from my house. I had just turned 16 and was thinking I was now allowed to drive but here I was walking. It was 9:00 PM and I had to be home at 11:00 PM. So at 10:45 I headed home. No booze, no drugs.
As I walked along in the quiet night, I felt someone was watching me. I turned to look up and and right there, probably 500 feet up and back was this set of lites that I felt was watching me. The white square lites quickly blinked and moved from left to right like a marquee drews ones eyes along. I got the impression they were windows. As a "Coast Guard brat",I grew up around naval bases and was familiar with aircraft. Even blimps make noise at relatively close range. This was silent and I stared for approximately 30 minutes or so. It never moved and neither did I. Finally, It just very slowly moved off from northwest to a southeastward direction. I slept all night and saturday until 4:00 in the afternoon.
My mother had my dad go to the C.G. base the next day to see what he could find out. He came home tight lipped and we all just went on with our lives but never forgot this incident. My mother always said that this episode did something to me. I say it just made me aware.
