silent luminescent disc shining in the pre-dawn sky
It was a humid night and I awoke in the early morning in my dorm room as I heard the milk truck making noise in the alley below. My hair was still damp as I had washed it the night before and went to bed with it wet. I was uncomfortable in the room and had the window opened with the curtains drawn back.
It was then that I looked up into the sky and saw a bright saucer type object. I was very scared as I was alone in the room. I thought I might have been dreaming so pinched myself. I walked around the room and then looked for my camera and snapped a shot even though there was no film in the camera. I was in awe, both excited and scared at the same time. I felt privledged to be a witness to the sight.
I had always thought people who believed in this type of thing were foolish. All these thoughts crowded my head. I felt like going next door and waking up the girl who lived there, and telling her to look out the window. But I was afraid to even go into the hallway. So I watched the object until it left. Who knows how long it was there, could have been about 30 seconds to a couple minutes. My mind was racing so seconds could have been minutes.
I have no idea how far away it was, but it was just over the city. The saucer was highly luminescent or polished, a silvery color. It was illuminated, but I never saw lights per se. When the object left at a fantastic speed, I saw what appeared to be sparkling dust slowly sifting down. I remember thinking how beautiful it looked. I have never been able to believe it was from a different planet. Could it have been a hologram or a photo of some type projected onto the sky? Don't know.
There was never anything in the paper about it, and my friends, the ones I told, were very skeptical. Still, I didn't tell everyone as I didn't want to be known for seeing it. And I didn't want to be mocked, which is what I may have done if it had been someone else. I was glad for the experience, but wish there had been an explanation. Maybe someone else in Syracuse saw it that night, and like myself, was too shy to come forward. I know it was not a dream or an illusion. I had not been drinking as it was a school night. That's about all I can remember.
