During the summer of 2014 in rural lasalle co. Illinois I saw something that changed my view of everything i new about our world.I will start off by telling you that I was a private pilot,I know and can identify most aircraft by sound alone and my father was also a pilot.I will also tell you that I was not alone that day.Three other people saw what I saw, one being my wife.The others are still friend of mine one of almost 20 years and the other of around 12 years.I have told very few others about this not because I feared what others would think of me or my story rather because I think it took me so long to try and make sence of it all,and i still havent.It started at about 4 oclock when i stepped out of a barn where I had been working on a motorcycle with the people mentioned.When i stepped out i began walking tward the house i looked over at the base of a large oak tree where a blueish light had caught my eye in clear open daylight.It was a pale blue glow and I instantly began to look for the cause and looked up at the top of the tree to find a round ball of blue light no more than 40 feet above this tree the ball being a total of aprox. 100 feet off the ground.For a moment i was stuck in my steps.It then split into three equal balls of light and then i yelled still stuck where i was.My wife then came out running in my direction as these objects began to slowly  move over the tree.She reached where i was when these things instantly took off and in a few secounds had moved over three miles across a field. This part of the state is very flat usually for many miles.This began the strangest 3 hours of our lives.I will continue this in my next posting,This is a long story and will take some time to finish,it will sound far fetched to say the least but I can tell you its worth the wait and completly true.
