Just as I approached the kitchen\/dining room area (they&#8217;re the same room and we have a bay-window\/patio door there) I noticed what I immediately thought was a helicopter about 300-400 feet away, just across the street and above the tree-line. Because we kind of live in the country, I thought that was unusual&#8230; then it hit me that I couldn&#8217;t hear any noise at all! And then the obvious shape difference hit me like a bag of rocks and I ran for my camera &#8211; literally (I almost tripped over a rug).<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how long it was there before I saw it, but it hung around for 2 or 3 minutes after I noticed it&#8230; not moving or flashing or anything. The only thing I noticed was a sort of wavy-ness of the air surrounding the object &#8211; that&#8217;s probably what stuck me most, actually. It resembled kind of what you see over a hot road on a summer day. It was getting dark, but I distinctly remember the dark tree line shimmering just below the object, against the sky-glow.<\/p>\n<p>I had just enough time to take a picture on my camera (before the batteries died), and then I got one on my cell phone right before it &#8220;disappeared&#8221; &#8212; I say that, because I believe it just went directly away from me at a high speed very suddenly&#8230; it actually appeared to grow smaller and disappear, but curve up slightly as it was doing so. The direction was about directly westward I believe.<\/p>\n<p>Long ago, when I was a young kid, I remember seeing a funny light in the sky (from very far away) and watching it do all sorts of &#8220;tricks&#8221; ~ but I couldn&#8217;t actually see it as an object. This is the only other time that I have seen something this close, that I know from my own eyes what I saw in a detailed manner. Very exciting indeed (although the first couple nights were difficult to sleep well!)<\/p>\n<p>MUFON submitter 9511<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was home alone and decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water and maybe find a snack.
