Really Scary..To Everyone
My family was at a hunting cabin in the boonies of PA at a friend's wedding reception.
The cabin was situated in a small clearing in the forest.
It was pitch black out except for the bonfire.
Instantly all the woodsy sounds stopped.
No crickets, no birds, no bullfrogs.
The adults were all drunk and carrying on, but we kids noticed immediately.
The night was extremely silent except for the rustling of the tree tops.
I can't explain it but, something I couldn't readily identify was coming over the tree tops into the clearing and it was moving slow and it was big.
It was way too slow and way too low to be a plane.
It had 3 lights at the back and we could just make out a massive triangular shape.
It was so black that made the night sky above it seem lighter.
It didn't make any noise at all which freaked me out.
I think there were 4 or 5 of us kids and we had been playing a little ways away from the fire.
Well, once we saw it, you better believe we hauled ass to the adults pointing to the sky and yelling.
I was scared.
The adults thought we were just being dramatic, but when my mom looked up, she saw it.
Then everyone saw it.
It couldn't have been more than 100' above the tree tops and the tree tops were moving like a tornado was coming through but, on the ground, it was really still.
As we watched, it turned above the clearing then blasted out of view without a sound.
As soon as it was gone the crickets started chirping again.
My family had planned to stay the night at the cabin but we didn't.
I must have been 9 or 10 at the time but I've never forgotten it or the way I felt seeing it.
The whole thing lasted maybe a few minutes but I had such a terrible feeling of dread in my stomach.
I haven't ever felt fear like that since.
My mom & I still talk about it sometimes.
Scary stuff.
