My sister called me yesterday afternoon to tell me that she got a phone call from her husband when he was driving the kids to school. She told me that they saw a UFO this morning! she said around seven something. He told her that all three kiddies were going crazy in the back seat pointing at something in the sky. since he was driving he really couldn't see what they were talking about, but he did say that he caught a glimpse of a black object just hovering there and he swears it wasn't a plane. Her oldest who is twelve called me with details and said it was in a cigar shape and it was white then they saw a black circle or ring that went straight through it and vanished then the craft disappeared.

I know that she isn't lying because the twelve year old is very mature, quiet and smart. Even the way she described it told me that she indeed saw something that was very unususal. When I questioned her about the shape and size of the thing, she was very adamant that it wasn't a plane and it was not a circular shape like the three ones I witnessed. She described it as a NASA shuttle going sideways. when I asked her about it being a blimp she said: "no, I knows what a blimp look like" and that it was no smoke or steam coming from the back of it.

Even if it was a blimp what would explain the black airy ring? this further proves that something was in the sky because the father said that what he caught was a black object hoovering, so he must have just seen the black circle. I became intrigue and researched what my niece told me and I found a lot of info on UFO crafts being in shape of a cigar. I even came across a site with a picture of a suppose craft. It look like what my niece described to me. I haven't confirm if this particular UFO was similar to the one she saw, but I assume it maybe because it is in a cigar shape and all white. I attached the link so you guys can see. Any thoughts or ideas of what my nieces and nephew saw?

Wow, OQ! What a great story. Is this the first UFO that your BIL & nieces & nephews have ever seen? I couldn't imagine trying to process something like that at that young age. Then again, the kids of today are more informed on UFO's & the like, than we ever were as kids.

I had a similar experience about a month ago. Karl, Spence & I were all driving out to my sister Jen's to visit the baby. She lives in Brighton MI. It's about 1-1 & 1/2 hrs from our place. there we were just driving along & I happened to notice a sphere /orb shaped silver thing flying outside my window (passenger side). I watched for about 45 seconds w/out saying anything to Karl or Spencebug. I was too focused on it to even say something out loud, as I figured talking would distract my attention from the object. But Karl knew that I had spotted something. Spencer had just asked me a question right before I spotted it & as I tried to answer him my words were becoming sporadic & very paused, because I noticed the sphere as I was trying to answer him. I sounded something like this "Ah...yeah, buddy...I know what...you mean...", as I was rubbernecking through my window to keep my eyes on what I had just spotted. I was just too distracted to answer him in a complete sentence, and Karl noticed this & drew his attention to what I was trying to see.

Finally, Spencer said something like "Right mama?" (in reference to his original question), & I took my eyes off of the object just long enough to look at him in the backseat. When I looked back to the sky, the sphere wasn't there anymore. Instead there was a whitish cigar shaped object. I kept my eyes on it as long as I could before it just faded away. It didn't fly behind any clouds or anything, it literally just faded away in the sense that it became lighter & lighter in appearance until it was gone, but it didn't seem to be getting further away, just lighter until it disappeared.

Karl actually got a glimpse of the cigar shaped mutation, but never actually saw the silver sphere. Once it was gone I blurted out "I think I just saw a UFO!". I explained to the boys that first it was spherical & that I had gotten a good look at it & was sure it wasn't anything that we were used to seeing in the sky. Then I described how in a split second the shape morphed into the cigar shape. Karl said "I saw the long thing too, but I didn't catch the sphere at all." I guess my distraction with answering Spencer's question caused Karl to look into the direction that I was starring into, but his position in the car didn't allow him to see the sphere. But he did catch on that I saw something, which caused him to look in the first place. Which in turn, allowed him to see the cigar object a couple of seconds later.

The weird thing about this sphere object is that it was silver-ish but also glowing as if the sun might have been hitting it, causing a shinny glare. What doesn't make sense about that is that the sun was behind it & not in a position to make it shine on the side that I could see it from. Do you know what I mean? I guess what I'm trying to say is that it should not have reflected the sun on that particular side of the orb, but instead on the opposite side that I couldn't see.

The second thing that I found strange & convinced me even more that it was a UFO, was the fact that there was no glare blur making it look fuzzy. Do you know what I mean by that? It's so hard to describe. Kind of like when you hold a mirror in the direction of the sun. Usually the sun will reflect off of the mirror, but the glare goes past the outline of the object, almost as if it's blocking part of the outline & stretching past it. There was none of that. So to me it seemed to have been a glare coming from the object itself.

I wish I hadn't looked away at Spencer, I probably would have seen it morph with my very own eyes. But I still know that it morphed into the cigar object, as it was in the very same spot that I had seen the sphere & only took a split second to replace the orb.

I guess I would have to say that, that was my very first UFO encounter. I know it couldn't have been anything else, the position of the sun vs the location of the glare, the glare not stretching past the object a bit, the quick replacement of orb to cigar shape & finally the fading away, yet not moving at all. None of that behavior seems to fit earth's laws of physics. I'm sure it was a UFO!

Thanks for sharing your story OQ. Although my experience differs a bit from your kins' experience, I feel quite validated by their story. I don't doubt that what they saw was a UFO. How are the kids handling this? Are they freaked?

Wow, thanks again Orby, I'm so glad you shared this!

No they didn't freak but they were really excited the little one who is six ran to tell his teacher and of course she was like huh? ok dear LOL!! I put a post up long ago about my experience when I saw three UFO's I don't remember if you read it or not, but it's under "holy crap I saw a UFO today" my experience was different from there's as well except the fact that I was in the backseat of the car too. Also that the ones I saw was disc shape not cigar like yours and the kiddies. Thanks for your story and your input as well. You had a crazy sighting too which is awesome!!! I do not doubt what they saw was genuine in fact I really feel that it is real and coming from my own view point as a true eye witness I can't be any happier!

sorry forgot to say my post is under personal experiences!
