I have not talked much about this since it happened 31 years ago. It
was summer in 1977 at about 11:45 PM. I was 14 at the time. I was
spending the evening with friends camping out in my parents back yard
in a tent. As with most kids that age we were horsing around quite a
bit...when suddenly we were startled by a strange buzzing or humming
sound comming from a nearby field. We peeked our heads out of the
tent to see what the noise was all about, only to see a strange craft
hovering in a field not too far away. I lived in Surrey British
Columbia at the time, not far away from the Blaine Washington
Border...about 95 miles from Seattle. I lived in an area that for the
most part was dense bush...tall 150' cedar trees all around. What we
saw was a large (at least 10 football fields long or longer) delta wing craft
hovering, with about a dozen white pulsating lights on one side of the wing. I was
reminded of this recently when I saw a video on youtube about the
Phoenix Lights...this is the craft we saw. There were aproximately 12
witnesses including my parents and many neighbors as well. What was
strange and eerie about it, was the way it just hung in the sky with
those pulsating lights that would go bright and then dim and then
bright and so on. It made a low humming sound that pulsed too.
One thing I remember about it was
an energy discharge off one of the wings...it looked like very
bright white (almost metalic)shards of glass breaking off, only it was an
energy discharge of some kind...and then the thing took off, slowly at first...it seemed to
be following a passenger jet that was flying overhead...and then in a
blink it was gone.
This same craft was spotted over a several week period flying over the
Vancouver Lower Mainland Area. My experience with it was up close and
personal.
