Full Description & Details

I was lying in bed unable to sleep one night. My brother was in another bed under the window fast asleep. A bright beam of light shone through my window, not from below but straight in as though someone was stood outside the window. This was highly unlikely as it was an upstairs room. My first thoughts were that my Dad had found us (we were in hiding from him on account of his violence towards us) and was trying to get my attention to let him in. I lay in bed frozen for a minute or so whilst watching this beam of light travel slowly around our bedroom. Once fear had subsided, curiosity got the better of me so I snuck on my hands and knees towards the open curtains and slowly raised myself up behind the right hand curtain, my brother sleeping below me. I peered through the right hand gap of the curtains to the blackness below but could see no sign of any movement (expecting to see my Dad with a torch).

What I did see was something from the left hand side of the window outside rise at an amazing speed which hovered for literally a second or so before darting off over the roof. All I remember about the object whilst it shot up into the air was a single white light (not bright but in fact quite dim) on its underneath. The sighting was so vivid and all happened within seconds. I thought nothing more of it really and went back to bed.

In the morning I got up for school (I was 15 years old at the time) and my mum had the radio on in the kitchen whilst she made us breakfast.An announcement came on that hundreds of people had phoned in the previous night to report seeing a UFO. I tried to tell my mum about the experience the night before but she just shrugged it off. I have never had such an experience before or after this event but still find what happened to me that night the most intriguing experience of my life.

Other Comments

Even though my experience was so long ago now and so vague, it remains heavily imprinted in my mind. I have written about the experience in poetry form in order to try and understand the meaning of the experience and have found all thoughts to be inconclusive and somewhat frustrating.
