Initial data
About one o'clock in the morning of July 1968, I was awakened by a shrill whistle. It seemed to me that the small electric fan on the table by the window was screeching for lack of oil. I got out of bed and turned off the fan, although the summer night was hot, but the whistling continued.
I was young, in my Teens, but I remember it very clearly. It scared me so much that I'll never forget it, so I'm writing this now. I went to the window next to the fan and knelt down to let the wind blow, because it was very hot.
Then I saw it , a large dark gray ball hovering over Mr. Allen's roof up the street. It had no light, it didn't move, it just floated motionless about five feet (1.5 m) above Mr. Allen's roof.
And that sound, the constant whining, about 15 kilohertz, that's what woke me up. It wasn't very loud, but it was loud enough to attract attention.
I was so scared, and I ran to my parents ' bedroom to Wake my mom. She told me to go to bed before I woke my father. So I went back to my bedroom and just stared out the window at that thing for 20 minutes or so.
Then, all of a sudden, in an instant, the thing just flew straight up into the air, and just as quickly, the sound stopped. I just knelt a little by the window, dazed by it all.
Then I went back to bed after turning on the fan again. will you tell me what it was? Thanks for reading, I'm not crazy, I know what I saw that night.
