My children, their father and I we're on our way back from watching a movie at the movie theater. As we were driving we were close to home my significant other at the time and I saw a very bright big light in the sky almost like a big flashlight we were stunned because we couldn't identify that we never saw anything like that before. I rushed home and I parked in our parking spot and we got out of the car all four of us and it was approaching our apartment it wasn't very high up in the sky and it was very large maybe like the size of two football fields and it was diamond shaped we could see it but they were parts of the ship that seem to really blend in with the night sky it was almost transparent aside from the shape of The Craft. There were tiny very faint lights all around the craft and there was absolutely no sound at all it was huge we were kind of all Frozen there watching it I really wish I had been able to get pictures but I was kind of Frozen in place. My kids and their father went into the house and I watched it until I could no longer see it it was moving rather slowly no change in the atmosphere no sound the weirdest part about this experience for me was that I was obsessed about it all night after seeing that and the next morning I couldn't remember I had to fight to keep this memory I knew that it was something that I would definitely think about the first thing I woke up in the morning because I was obsessed about it the whole night before I had such a hard time holding on to the memory of this happening now I'm always looking in the night sky hoping that I see something again.
