I do apologize, I couldn't watch the video yet...I'm on a 56k dial up modem
HOWEVER, I did want to share that PA (namely Southwestern Pennsylvania) has been an extremely hot location for UFO's. In November of last year or the
year before (can't remember exactly) I was riding shotgun on the way to Mount Pleasant, PA. Off in the distance I saw an extremely bright light in
the sky before it even got dark. I'd say this was probably at 4:30p.m. but it's still possible to see bright lights on planes or even an evening
star (My astronomy is really rusty so forgive me if evening stars aren't around in November) in daylight. I didn't really make a note of it or
anything but I did tell the driver to hurry up a bit just in case it would still be around.
As we passed into a clearing after a very long wall of trees on the right side of the road...BAM. There it was, still almost daylight out, a triangle
shaped unidentified flying object. It appeared to be hovering, and I couldn't tell exactly how high it was because I passed literally almost right
underneath it. From the bottom, it had an extremely bright light on each of the three points of the triangle and a dimmer (but still relatively
bright) light in the center of the craft. No noise at all was emitted from the object the entire time. Once we had passed it, I wasn't even sure at
the moment but I thought I saw smaller pinpoints of lights (star-like in appearance) zipping around the object.
As wonderful as this all sounds.........
I have really bad news. Ok, well let me start off by saying that I am an extreme believer in UFO's, ET's, and anything dealing with life and
technology outside of the terrestrial examples we are exposed to daily.
However, in the experience I just explained to you, there are problems. Some are minor problems while some are really big problems. Minor problems
consist of (1) the star-like object flying around the UFO could have very well been stars. I was in a car so obviously stars can appear to move.
Secondly, (2) there were other motorists...so, why am I the only one who saw it? My explanation is that they just were busy driving (Do you look up A
LOT when you drive?). Next is the biggest problem with this sighting:
At the time at which I saw the UFO, I was working night shift, and sleeping during the days. I know for a fact that my lady friend had woke me up from
my mid day slumber to talk, then I went downtown with my mother. The problem that I keep finding and questioning is that I woke up right before we
left. The experience felt genuine and I felt definitely awake...but maybe since I'd just woke up...The car ride had maybe started to put me to sleep
again...which rendered me a little subjective to hallucinations. Is this the case? I really don't know because I remember the event like it was the
day before yesterday. Oh and the second problem with this situation is that I had not the common sense to get my camera phone ready to snap a picture
or video. No evidence usually means no believers...but it's ok because I'm not even sure if I believe myself from time to time.
Generally, though...I believe what I saw WAS real and not a hallucination. On top of that, I am not a drug user or alcohol consumer of any sort. So I
know it couldn't have been anything like that. When I think back on it I just keep feeling in my gut that it WAS a true event and that everyone else
just wasn't looking up. It doesn't help that it was over a very unpopulated area of the Mount Pleasant Township Area. But I thought it'd be
something to share since Altoona isn't really ALL that far away from us here in Mt. Pleasant.
Also a bit of a note...It is approximately 3-5 miles away from the notorious Kecksburg UFO incident of the 60's...If that's important to anything
here.
