Size of Object(s)I'd say 50 to 60 around but maybe 12 to 14 feet thick Distance to Object(s) & Altitudeat first it follwed at about 70 yard but at one point was overtop of the car Shape of Object(s)disk, definetely a disk Color of Object(s):white or creme colored it seemed like it glowed in the dark but was very tangible Full Description & DetailsMy girlfriend Mary and I decided to leave Asheville, North Carolina where we were visiting my mother and three sisters ( my parents had divorced two years earlier. ) I was approximately 23 at the time and Mary was probaly 20. Initially upon leaving there we'd decided to spend a few days in Nagshead North Carolina but the horseflies were brutal on the beach so we decideded to drive to our usual vacation spot in either Rehobath Beach or Ocean City Maryland. Mary was driving when suddenly she said Michael look out the back window there is something folllowing us in the sky and I think it's a flying saucer. I thought she was kidding but climbed into he back seat when she became almost hysterical about it. I had a big camping flashlight with us with which I began to signal up into the sky at what did look like a flying saucer. It had no wings and it moved from side to side over the road in a gliding yet lighting quick action. I had never seen an object in the sky act like that. It also changed altitudes very freely and quickly at times hovering only 30 to 40 feet above the road. After a few minutes it seemingly disappeared. However after about 10 minutes Mary said," Michael I think it's back but this time it's over the car." As she said it the radio and headlights failed. The atmosphere in the car seemed to change. It was if everything took on a feeling of almost slow motion, like a liquifying haze intermingled with the very atmosphere within the vehicle. The next thing I remember although it is very vague and I'm not sure in what time context is seeing this same craft enter the bay by which we were traveling at the time almost sideways without disturbing the water, at least that's how it seemed.
Witness BackgroundI'm a very creative person who plays guitar, some harmonica and fools around with programed beats and writes a lot of interesting songs in my many genres inlcuing fokl - folk rock- rock- gospel - blues - country- and even recently hip hop and rap ( I've been a feautured or ( paid ) poet ( St Marks and a showcased songwriter Folk City where Dylan played. My work is often favorably compared with his. I've written five books- Radical Truth: From Dallas to Waco and Beyond .... An American Conpsiracy Matrix ), Reflections of the Soul: American Rimbaud ( Growing Up Insane in the 60's ), Revelation ( Are We Living in the Last Days ), Romantic Notions ( 31 cool poems ) and Rivers to Cross the Songs if Mike Sheehan 1975-2005 ( 140 original songs ). I have a teaching license ( and currently substitute teach ), a real estate license ( I've closed deals ), a paralegal certificate ( I've worked in the field ) and have also worked as a Newspaper reporter/photographer for a weekly, managed music, book and comic stores, been a street vender, delievry driver, landscaper etc. Other CommentsI will be at the Transgenic Symposium on Nov 20th in New York. If for any reason I am unavailable on line I will be at the above address. I find the subject of interesting but am not fantaical about it. I just like to understand what's going on as a person, writer and artist. I've finished an intense and extrememly productive writing and recording cycle involving both books and music and now am more focused on career, marketing what I've written and perhaps exploring fiction. I am not an exploiter or a hustler I have written what I have and done my work as an artist because it is in me to do it and I enjoy it immensely. Sometimes I've been a little less than practical at pursuing things partly because I didn't want the commercial instinct to win out over my innate and genuine curiosity. But I'm not in a bad situation at all now in my life. In fact I rather like it. I'm stable, very happily married and feel like I've written some great stuff which I'm real proud of ( both books and music ). I feel optomistic, have worked out some difficult issues resulting from a difficult childhhood experience in the last five years and am looking forward to life with a lot of hope and anticipation.
