I was in my family’s boat just driving around the lake and I turned around in my seat and I saw this strange flying disc with beams of light coming from it. At first I thought it was a plane, but I took a closer look and it just it wasn’t a plane or a helicopter. I was just so confused I can’t even explain what else it could be! I was watching and it was just floating there and then the beams from it shut off and it started to fly along beside our boat and I looked away and looked back then it was gone!! Was this and abduction? I’m so curious! P.S.--This was seen at my cottage in Minden.
