Full Description & Details

It was about 2:00am on a Monday morning. I was in a bedroom in the upstairs of our house which consisted of two bedrooms with a dorma bathroom in between. As I sat on the toilet I noticed a bright light coming in the window over the tub to my left. I though it was not early enough to get up so I went into my room to look at the clock whch read around2:00am. I suddenl got real scared and for some reason crawled on the bathroom floor into the tub to get a look out the window. I saw "hovering" above the trees with the reflection in the pool a very bright light. It was low in the sky and as bright as the sun but didn't light up the whole sky. I was scared to death. I crawled back into bed and was literly scared stiff, I couldn't move but I could see the reflection on the wall. I had this feeling that something was around so I pretended to be alseep. I wanted to run downstairs to wake my parents but I couldn't. After abut an hour I felt the house lightly shake twice with a low boom and then watched the reflection slowly disappear. Next morning i told my family but of course no one beleived me and they said it was probably the moon. The next night I woke myself at the same time to see nothing there, oh, and the moon was on the other side of the house at that time.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No. I never saw anything like it again either there or anyplace else.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I follwing information on UFOs every now and then when the subject is on TV. I relive my experience and it scares me. I believe there are beings things out there, but I'm not going to be the one to say so. I would be skeptical if I had not seen it myself

Other Comments

I would like more people to experience this. I hate people thinking I'm playing games as I still get scared every now and then.
