Previously, I wrote on this site about wanting to see a UFO “if only to know they exist.” After what happened some time later, I’ve been wondering if “they” heard me. I remember that day clearly. It was on July 23, 2008 – a beautiful day with a clear blue sky. It was late afternoon and still light outside. I was in the kitchen making dinner and standing over the stove next to the large kitchen window. My husband was in the living room sitting at his computer. I glanced out the window and saw a large round disk flying slowly over the rooftops of the other apartment buildings. It moved very smoothly and was completely silent. There was no engine noise -- nothing. It was made of some kind of white metallic substance that glistened like ice. I’ve never seen that type of metal before. I couldn’t see any windows or who was piloting it. I was surprised but not really afraid. I don’t know why. I just stared at it. There was a soft blue light underneath it that glowed. The blue light shimmered and seemed stronger toward the front of the craft. It passed right above my kitchen window heading in a southern direction. As it passed I saw it join another craft exactly like it. The second one was some distance away and flying at a higher altitude. The first craft joined it and they silently flew side by side in a perfect formation. I watched them until they were far away and disappeared into the horizon. I stood in the kitchen for a long time after that. I’m not sure how long. I think I was in shock. But for some reason I wasn't afraid. I don’t know why.

After some time (don't know how long) I went into the dining room. I didn’t know how to tell my husband about what I’d just seen. I thought he wouldn’t believe me. I finally did tell him about it. I think he wanted to believe me, but he doesn't know what to think. I don’t blame him. I'm also having a hard time believing it happened. I feel I’ve changed since then. I'm not completely certain how, but I've noticed that I think about global events more, about our planet, and whether we'll survive given the way we abuse our environment. Before this, I never thought much about life beyond my daily experiences, especially not anything about space or ETs. That was the stuff of movies. But now I've started reading a lot about other people’s experiences with UFOs and about other sightings in different places around the world. I need information, and hopefully some answers. I read that other people have also had similar experiences, and that some of them are also trying to come to terms with it. Sometimes when I think back to that day, I still can’t believe it happened. But it was real – not a movie, and not some warm, fluffy ET thing. If they're here there must be a reason.

I wonder if the fact that I saw it was incidental. It may seem bizarre, but I feel it has to do with our planet - the environment. I don't know why I think that, and I could be wrong. I feel more and more people will begin to see and report UFO sightings. The sightings will continue to increase. It’s as if a global shift is happening. Maybe I’m imagining it, but some days I can sense them in my thoughts. I can sometimes see fleeting images of them in my head. It’s not a negative feeling. It’s more like thinking about someone you vaguely know. I tend to look up at the sky more often like I’m waiting for something to happen, but I don’t know what. I’ve started to read about other people who’ve had experiences similar to mine. They’ve also seen ETs but are reluctant to report it or talk about it.

I sense their contact with our planet will continue to increase. It's not a coincidence that there’s more discussion about ETs now than ever before. It’s as if we’re gradually being prepared to make a quantum leap in our perception of the universe - a gradual intuitive shift. These are all just vague feelings. I have no solid proof so far.
