The story I wanted to tell happened in 2004. It was October, and it would have been homecoming week for the University of Northern Iowa. My sister went to school there, and she needed money to go home to go and have a party. So I took her some money. 

She said she had to be at a certain place by 11 p.m. because admission costs $ 5. If it's after 11 o'clock, she'll have to pay $ 15. 

So my friend and I left Cedar Rapids is approximately 7:30 p.m., and Cedar Falls is about an hour or so away. So we're heading towards Cedar Falls, and when I got up at the exit, I realized I had chosen the wrong exit. I could see the UNI Dome ( NOTE: The UNI-Dome is a multi-purpose stadium located on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa) from where I was. It was somewhere in the distance. 

I was in the middle of four cornfields separated by a road. I had a stop sign. There is no intersection. And my radio was really hot. It was kind of lazily plugged in, so I unplugged my CD player. Suddenly I looked up at the sky and said:

"Oh, look, Mindy, a shooting star!"

 And I pointed it out. She looks good. And as soon as I point it out, it starts coming towards us. So what looked like a shooting star in the distance might take about ten seconds to reach us, and by then it was a hundred feet away. 

I could tell it was a big, really beautiful blue diamond. It looked like it was made of glass. It was really smooth. The edges were rounded, not bulky. It fell right in front of us and landed in a cornfield across the street on the left. And I said I landed because there was no arrow, no noise, no explosion. Anyway, he landed. She looked at me and said:

"It wasn't a shooting star." 

I said: 

"No, it's not. What time is it?" 

I don't know why I asked when I saw something like this. She said: 

"20:51".

I remember this especially because it will make sense after we leave at 19: 30. So I had to cross the road, because in the distance I could see the UNI dome. And I wanted to point out that if I had to measure with my fingers on the windshield, how big is this thing. I'm doing it with a lamppost right now. I would say it was the size of a lamppost, about 4 inches (10.16 cm) with my fingers. 

It was quite a pleasant night. So I had to cross the road. There is no radio. I look to the left, and on top of the corn, it just lights up, very light blue. And that's all I remember… I don't remember talking to her. I don't remember anything except saying "what the hell?" I used a different word, but I said:

"We're not getting any closer. We're not getting any closer."

So I was like driving a car, driving a car and looking at the UNI Dome. I don't remember her saying anything. I just remember looking at the UNI Dome, driving and saying loudly: "We're not getting any closer." 

The next thing I know, I'm at a traffic light. I turned left, I turned right. I'm in the UNI Dome, and my sister is gone. I call my sister to come down and get the money. She fell asleep. She comes down, and she's mad at me, and I said: 

"What's the matter with you, I just brought you some money? I just came from another city to bring you some money." She said: 

"I was trying to get there by 11 o'clock, so I only had to pay $ 5. I have ten minutes to get to 11."

So, from 8: 51 when we saw this thing until ten minutes to 11, I drove straight to the UNI Dome. I was looking at this. I saw it from a distance. Looks like I'll be there in ten minutes. It's just crazy, because I don't remember anything. 

When I think about it, it feels like the UNI dome is projected in front of me. The trip was supposed to take a maximum of three hours, but we didn't get home until after midnight. When I remember, I don't remember driving home. 

I remember calling Mindy a week later and saying:

"I want to talk to you about it…"

And she's like this:

"What are you talking about?"

I thought:

"About what we saw on the way to the UNI Dome."

And she was silent for a while, and then she just started to worry and kept repeating :

"Light! Light! Light! I have to go, I can't talk about this, " and hung up. 

And she's still a good friend of mine, she won't talk about it. So it was a really crazy experience.

Summary:  “The story I wanted to tell was back in 2004. It was October and it would have been homecoming week for the University of Northern Iowa. So my sister was attending school there and she needed money to go out for homecoming to go out and party. So I was taking some money up to her. She said she had to be at a certain place by 11 o’clock PM because it was 5 dollars to get in. If it was after 11 o’clock she would have to pay 15 dollars. So my friend and I left Cedar Rapids at about 7:30PM and Cedar Falls is just about an hour or so away. So we head up to Cedar Falls and when I got up on the exit, I realized I took the wrong exit. I could see the UNI Dome (NOTE: The UNI-Dome is a multi-purpose stadium, on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa, in Cedar Falls, Iowa) from where I was. It was off in the distance. I was in the middle of like four cornfields separated by the road. I had a stop sign. The crossroad did not. And my radio was really hot. It was kind of hooked up lazily, so I took the face of my CD player off. All of a sudden I looked up into the sky and I said, ‘Oh look, Mindy, a shooting star!’ And I pointed at it. She looks. And as soon as I pointed at it, it starts coming towards us. So from what looked like a shooting star off in the distance maybe takes about ten seconds to get to us and by the time it was a hundred feet away from us. I could tell it was a big, really beautiful blue diamond. It looked like it was shaped out of glass. It was really smooth. The edges were rounded instead of clunky. It came straight down in front of us and landed in the cornfield that was across the street and to the left. And I say landed because there was no boom, there was no noise, there was no explosion. Whatever it was, it made a landing. She looked at me and said, ‘that wasn’t a shooting star.’ I said, ‘no it wasn’t.’ I said, ‘what time is it?’ I don’t know why I asked the time after seeing something like that. She said, ‘8:51’ I remember that specifically because it would make sense after we left at 7:30PM. So I had to cross the road because I could see the UNI Dome off in the distance. And I wanted to point out that if I was to measure with my fingers across the windshield how big this thing was. Right now I’m doing it to a light pole. I would say it was about as big as a light pole, about 4 inches with my fingers. This was a pretty nice night. So I had to cross the road. There’s no radio on. I look to the left and on top of the corn it’s just illuminated, a really light blue. And that’s all I remember… I don’t remember talking to her. I don’t remember anything except for saying ‘what the heck?’ I used a different word but I said ‘we’re not getting any closer. We’re not getting any closer.’ So I was like driving and driving and staring at the UNI Dome. I don’t remember her saying anything. I just remember staring at the UNI Dome and driving and saying out loud, ‘we’re not getting any closer.’ The next thing I know, I’m at a stop light. I took a left, I took a right. I’m at the UNI Dome and my sister’s gone. I call my sister to come down and get the money. She had fallen asleep. She comes down and she’s acting all mad at me and I said ‘what’s wrong with you, I just brought you the money? I just drove from out of town to bring you some money.’ She said ‘I was trying to get in there by 11 o’clock so I only had to pay 5 dollars. I got ten minutes to get there by 11.’ So from 8:51 when we saw this thing to ten minutes to 11, I was driving straight up to the UNI Dome. I was staring at it. I could see it off in the distance. It looked like I would probably be there in ten minutes. This is just crazy because I don’t remember anything. When I think about it, I feel like the UNI Dome was projected in front of me. This should have been at the most a three hour trip but we didn’t get home until after midnight. When I was thinking back, I don’t remember the drive home. I remember a week later calling Mindy and saying, I want to talk to you about the thing… and she was like, ‘what are you talking about?’ I was like, ‘about what we saw on the way to the UNI Dome.’ And she was like quiet for a minute and then she just started freaking out and she kept saying, ‘The Light! The Light! The Light! I have to go, I can’t talk about this’ and hung up. And still to this day, she’s a good friend of mine, she will not talk about it. So that was a really crazy experience.”
