So, you are just going to tease about your own sighting? How about some deets?
So...I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was certainly unusual. Here's the story: My (then) girlfriend (now wife) and I were driving from the Four Corners area down to Silver City, New Mexico. We'd left late and were on a two lane state highway. I'd been driving for quite a while, it was around 2:30 am, when I started getting drowsy. The road we were on was rural and the moon was full, so good visibility. I pulled over to the side of the road (the nose of the car was pointed due south) and got out to stretch. That's when "the object" caught my attention. It was a solid ball of white light. It was just visible on the horizon and my first though was that it was a helicopter searchlight. I kept stretching, but also kept my eyes on the light. Now, the sky was absolutely clear and the stars were brilliant. We really were in the middle of nowhere.
The first thing that I noticed (other than the light itself) was that whatever it was was hauling ass! Everyone has seen helicopters in the sky and you get a sense of how they fly and how fast they traverse the sky. This thing was just cresting the horizon as I was getting out of the car and in the time it took my to stretch my shoulders once or twice, it was directly in front of me. Now, a couple of things happen in rapid succession...I turn my head and tell my wife (who is still in the car...I'm outside with the driver's door open) "Hey, look at this." The car was a tiny Geo Metro, so she leans over the console and can see the ball of light in the sky looking out the drivers side door. I turn my head back and am looking up at the ball of light. That's when I realize how low it is...maybe 300-500 feet in altitude. I'm not positive about that, but I can testify it was definitely very close to us. I then realize that it is totally silent. A helicopter at twice that altitude is still loud as shit. This thing is making no noise at all.
Now here is where it gets freaky. All of these thoughts are running through my head ("It's low," "It's silent,") and by now my wife is looking at the object as well. Up until now, the ball of light as been moving, fast. In the time it take me to point it out to my wife it's continued across the sky. We're both looking at it when (I swear to God) the damned thing stops and backs up. It looked just like someone backing up a car. The solid ball of light backs up and is now directly in front of me (I'm facing east) and parks itself.
I should say at this point, my wife is the most reasonable, rational person on earth. She is thoughtful and intelligent and can deal with just about anything.
My wife freaks. I will admit my stomach dropped as well. "Get in the fucking car!" she screams (to this day my wife does not cuss very often).
I get in (no longer drowsy) and we get moving. For twenty minutes, the ball of light paced us. The road continued due south, but the object would zip around us..first in front, then the drivers side, then the passenger side, then behind us. It was incredibly quick. Then boom...it's gone. We don't even see which direction it went.
Obviously, we are both shaken. To this day, my wife hates talking about it. It's not that she's worried people will think she was crazy, it's because (and she'll say this herself) it was truly one of the most terrifying things she's ever experienced.
It certainly scared me too, but I was really fascinated as well. It's why I became interested in the topic.
Now again, I'm not saying aliens. But I will say, in a court of law under penalty of perjury, it was not: an airplane, a helicopter, Venus (or any other planet). It moved like no aircraft I've ever seen and I really felt like it was intelligently controlled.
Really, as far as sighting go, it was pretty tame. But the fact that it stopped and backed up and then proceeded to basically f*ck with us for 20 minutes is something I still try to explain rationally to myself.
