ok we were going down a free way to are land we own. Just as we were getting ready to turn I saw a ball in the sky just sitting their not moving but low enough to se some detail. it was tan kind of like skin with dents in it kind of like a ball with half of the air gone. I ask my husband what is that he said maybe a weather balloon said its to small and its completely still. Well we turned the corner and as we are coming up to are land I notice another ball by are water tanks at the rear of are land. I jump out of the truck and run up top of the hill behind the tanks. The ball was really low about to stores it look like the one I had seen by the hwy it looked like it was organic like human skin. so my husband walks up beside me and says I don't no what it is but its landing I look straight ahead and there it was a sliver disc it must have been really hot the air around it was rippleing. it was huge and landing so I look back up to the ball and its gone I look ahead and the saucer is gone. What is even stranger is that I watch alien shows all the time what I never see is a ufo with guards or what ever the balls were. I feels good to finally tell someone.
