Other over Five Points, FL

The report, as filed

At approximately the time and date provided, a loud high pitched jet engine and the sound of the air rushing from the source became suddenly and overwhelmingly audible. This had happened, I state this as a critically important note, a few times before at the location in Five Points, Florida; the low income community in Columbia County that is just a mile or so due North beyond the Lake City city limit if travelling via US441 North. I quickly exited the home located near the county jail on Quentin Street; no surprise befell me when I gazed up to find an impressive looking, but all too familiar, mid sized, jet engine driven aircraft. (I had seen this craft or one almost identical on two other occasions). This craft appeared to my eyes to be quite similar to a harrier jet used by the United States Marine Corps. For the third time over the course of a year I witnessed this craft almost at a standstill but suspended over the area just a few dozen feet North and East of the address in which I was visiting that night. Nothing prior to this event could have prepared me for what occurred within seconds. This night was cloudless the clearest a night could be, but still the craft began to ascend quite rapidly and in less than the proceeding 3 seconds; possibly less as I was completely awe stricken; the craft was gone, though it was just as loud as before. The even being illuminated on the bottom by 4 bright bluish lights and having some other source of an apparently incandescent orange glow emanating from it the craft completely vanished into a clear night sky leaving behind only the overpowering auditory disturbance of its harrier type turbine. It was approximately one minute before the craft was no longer in range of my ability to hear. Please note that I became extensively educated on the branches of military and all of their publically known weapons systems, vehicles and other various aspects of militaria as an answer to a passion for learning about the history my country. I intended to serve as a soldier in the U.S Army, but a technicality prohibited my enlistment. I have witnessed many strange occurrences over the last two years most frequently and not exclusively but especially having come to pass in our skies. I fear something sinister and most unpleasant is on the immediate horizon and the number of craft in our skies keeping tabs on us renders us helpless to do anything to avoid submission. God help us all. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
