Full Description & Details

In November 1992, at around 10 p.m., I was driving alone on my way home from a visit to my parents. My husband and I lived in an apartment in the north end of town, towards the less populated area of our city. It was very dark out, not a lot of travelers on the road, and not a lot of lights, including street lamps. Suddenly I noticed what I thought was a bright aura around the moon. I glanced up further at the moon, and that is when I realized that the aura (light) I had seen at the top edge of my vision wasn't coming from the moon, but an incredibly bright star just below the moon. As I watched, that star quickly dropped down and raced northwest across the sky, traveling in the same direction as me (I had turned left by this time). I was trying to drive and watch the "star" traveling at the same time. It seemed to stop and change, so I pulled over in a residential neighborhood right next to my apartment complex. I had the impression of something very large hanging over the bank of houses, with lights in an almost cross-like configuration. I remember hanging out my passenger window, straining my eyes to see the shape of this thing beyond the lights. My crazy thought was that it was light Wonder Woman's plane, invisible but with running lights or something. There is a UFO picture on this website that reminds me strongly of what I saw--it is one of the last pictures in the 1990's decade--the ones over Germany in 1990. That is the closest to the light configuration I saw. I vividly remember the feeling of extreme vastness of the thing beyond what I could see, yet it was completely silent. It only hung there a very short time, and then it began to pull away. I gunned my engine and raced around a short corner to my apartment as fast as I could, yet the thing I saw had already risen high enough to be the bright star again and was starting to streak back across the sky. I pulled into my apartment space and, leaving the door open on my car, raced to my door and yelled for my husband to come out quickly. He did, but all he saw was the very end of the bright "star" and it was gone before I knew it. I was almost hysterical, I remember telling my husband about it and then frantically calling my Dad to tell him the same thing. He had to tell me to calm down I was so agitated. I've never forgotten this, even though it has been 13 years. What was it??? I don't live close to a military base, and I can't imagine they would have anything that could move that fast, that far, and be so incredibly huge and silent. I'll always wonder about it. I am a devout Christian who believes in Christ and how he died for my sins, so I swear to you that what I have described is true. I have told very very few people about this because I didn't want anyone to label me crazy or think I was "weird". I tried very hard to forget what I had seen, but even now I wonder about it.
