I saw moving lights in a field and then a close up view of a UFO from my car on September 1, 2000.Sighting took place: September 1, 2000, Approx 1 am MNT/2 am Central On August 31, 2000 I started my trip from Denver, CO to Andrews, TX. I met a potential client in Colorado Springs, CO and then left there around 6:30-7 pm. I arrived in Raton and stopped at the McDonalds and called my family in Andrews at around 9 pm mnt/10 pm central. From Raton, I headed Southeast on 64/87 and went through Clayton and Dalhart. Once 87 turned into 385, at around Channing or Vega, I started seeing what I thought were peculiar lights moving down the fields I was driving past. The lights I saw would go one at a time at approx the same height along the stationary "normal" lights at that were in place in the field. I watched this as I was driving for about half an hour or so. At approx 1 am mnt/2 am central on September 1, 2000, I stopped my car on the RH side of the road to watch a light I’d seen out of the rear mirror of my car that appeared to be moving inwards in the field. I turned off my engine & watched the light move across towards the road and then "hover" out in the field for a few seconds. It was the same color as all the others I’d seen - a white light (same as starts you see in the sky or headlights from most cars). All of a sudden, this light "whipped" around to stop approx 15-30 feet behind my car a little to the left above the road. I could very easily see it out of my window. Immediately upon stopping it "opened up" or changed form (there were no "doors") and I was able to see much more than a "blob" of light. This inside was defined by shades of light - golden hues. I could see 2 distinct cylindrical shapes coming from this part of the object. They were more horizontal than my drawing shows (they were not pointing down at the earth, but outwards towards me). There were "bands" that were coming from the cylindrical shapes towards the center. I saw nothing resembling anything I’d ever seen on earth or even on TV. Nothing appeared shiny or metallic. This object made no noise at all. I looked at this object for seconds at the most and then turned in my seat and started my car and began driving away as quickly as I could. I said the words out loud "no I don’t want to go." The object did not follow me and I don’t know where it went. I did not see it in my rear view mirror when I looked back. I did, however, as I continued driving see the lights out in the fields that were traveling down the stationary lights in the field. I stopped again to watch one that was at it’s "end" of its "route" and tried to communicate with it as it "hovered" out in the field. I felt no response to my questions. When it started moving inwards again like the other light, I drove away. The next night, at a hotel where I was staying with my sister in Andrews, TX, I awoke in the middle of the night to my body jerking (much like when you fall asleep) and the bed shaking from side to side underneath me. This has never happened to me before. My sister was not disturbed, nor was my dog in her cage near my bed. I felt an "energy" moving over my body and saw a tiny light "dancing" over the room that I could not explain. I felt parts of my body tingle throughout this process and at one time felt a "pressure" on the left side of my brain. I was able to move, however, I chose to stay still for several minutes since I was not uncomfortable during this experience. Then I got up and went outside and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I went back to sleep and then woke up and felt my bed shaking underneath my body at least 2 more times that night. I was extremely tired and so I immediately went back to sleep each time. I have no unusual marks on my body from this experience. I have noticed a different mental "awareness" since the incident and I am remembering all of my dreams so far each night since the event, which is not usual and has not happened to me since childhood. I have felt anxious since the event, however, this I feel is due to my own imagination and choosing to listen to stories my friends have told me they heard or read about abductions. I am choosing not to do the hypnosis, since having listened to some friends who are familiar with the hynotic process, I feel there is a tendency for suggestions to the mind that did not actually occur. I have absolutely no reason to think I was abducted (I have accounted for all time that night) and that whatever beings might have been in that object meant me any harm. I know what I saw was nothing I can describe based upon my experience or TV. I believe whatever technology could create such an object would be able to do whatever they wished to us and so logically to me this means they must be here in peace and even possibly to help us. I am 32 years old and have been a professional in the advertising industry for 10 years. I have traveled quite a bit to several countries and lived overseas in Switzerland during high school. I have never seen anything resembling a UFO before. I have never had hallucinations before. I have not been interested in UFOs prior to this event. In fact, although I believed that there were very likely more evolved beings in the universe, I did not actually think they were showing up here in the numbers people were claiming.((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness at length over the telephone and found her report to be quite sincere and convincing. She is quite successful in her employment, and seened quite confused by what seemingly had taken place that morning. A follow-up investigation has been initiated. We have altered the indicated time here; it was at approximately 0200 hrs. on Friday, 01SE00. PD))
