I was woken by what sounded like a metal ball being thrown from one side of my house, downstairs, to another.I was frightened to say the least and hid my head under the duvet on the bed.
The sounds continued, and I remember thinking that if someone had broken in, I would have heard glass breaking.
I looked at the clock, it was about 1:10 a.m..
I decided I was being stupid and that I must go to see what was going on.
When I sat on the edge of the bed I became aware of a small figure, that seemed to glow, hovering inside my bedroom by the window.
It was ochre colored, with a small round head on a flexible neck emerging from an ochre colored leather like cylinder.
I remember being surprised by very large flat feet at the base.
There was nothing frightening about it, just a feeling of niceness and fun.
It stretched out 2 long flexible arms towards me, and that was the last thing I remembered.
I would have dismissed this sighting as just a dream if it had not been for the fact that the previous evening there was a lot of ribbon lightning, but no rain.
I went outside to get a better look, when 2 glowing orbs flashed in front of my balcony.
The impression was of 2 kittens chasing each another fun.
Sometime later I read a letter in a magazine reporting the sighting of a large shiny object which appeared to be a space ship near the Jura mountains, close to where I live.
I have always regretted not contacting the writer nor keeping a copy of the letter.
