Wow. I didn't realize this had been happening that many years ago. Leslie ----- Original Message ----- From: Ernie Patai To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 9:49 AM Subject: CS>UFO sighting
Hello Listers, I don't post often and although is I'm sure will become off topic; I'd like to share my experience as a 5 year old child. I had just arrived from overseas landing in Montreal, Canada- 1969. I was getting a bath from my dad in one of those motels where you share bathrooms when we started hearing great commotion outside. As he dried me off quickly, got me dressed and decided to go out; It was dark at this point and raining. We stood under the awning trying to figure out why everyone had stopped driving their cars and got out to look up. When we looked up we didn't see anything at first. Because I was small all I could see were two walls of buildings acting as a horizon. Then all of a sudden we heard a loud humming noise coming from over head and then appeared a "saucer" like shape with a glowing red light hovering what seemed to me like right over the street. It was unmistakable because it seemed like it was literally over our heads even though it may have been hundreds of feet up. Nobody moved. Everyone and their uncles were outside watching. In as much as the instant it arrived, it' also disappeared over the horizon of buildings. All I could think of."why doesn't this look like anything that I know." Like the plane that I just arrived in. So I asked my dad what was it; he said it was a spaceship. I asked again what was inside. He told me spacemen. I couldn't make any reference. Remarkable or perhaps unremarkable; this story never made the news, or headlines and was never spoken of the next day, not even by locals. So, I believe they are true, and to this day I can recall the story in detail as to the events which took place 39 years ago. Why then would a 5 year old remember such an odd event as a kid when there are so many other things to preoccupy a kids mind. Ernie
