closest encounter with a UFO - 30-40 feet awayonce during when i was 14 at a house party when many kids were having fun throwing paper plates into the sky during that night...some where playing fetch, etc...i was just standing there with one of my cousin watching those children having fun...at that time i was standing there nearby an abandon garage which is about 30-40 feet away from where i was ... i was actually staring at the sky looking at those paper plates flying everywhere when i accidentally (for no reason) I turn my head towards the right side for an moment which was facing the garage and saw an OBJECT sitting right on top of the roof top at the corner closes to us. I became stunt for few seconds then i turned about and grab my cousin's arm who was standing directly infront of me and told him to look at that direction and then i found the thing disappeared. i never got to tell anyone because i thought no one here would believe me. i live in brunei and this place is a small country so maybe there's lesser chance for me to meet someone who have seen similar things. i was surprise to find this website where i can share with everyone who probably would have the encounter the same thing. Even today i never got to tell much people here because im worried they will think im NUTs :0 from my memory, i remember that the object was not the typical saucer look which we always get on TV/indepandent day/internet/discovery channel.It was something different. it was very high-tech and unique. it is nothing like what i've ever seen in any movies. There were many details on the body of the craft as if it looks like pipes / wiring attached to the body. from the distance where i was standing, i consider the object small. probably measuring about 4 to 5 feet lenght x 4 feet width x 3 to 5 feet thickness. no lights were seen. i can see that object with available lights because i was close enough from that subject as the house had some lightings around the surrounding of the garden to lite up some part of the roof. The stangest thing i canot figure out how it can do was; the object was actually floating on top of the roof (probably less then a feet away from the roof), the roof were soft and old and it should have made noise. even rain drops falling onto the roof would make noise but from my distant i hear nothing from the object and the roof (the corner part) was not even rattling. after that incident i've always wish to see it another time.i told some of my friends i wish to see them again. i consider myself very lucky to see it that close because from documentary, discovery channels, books, internet sites, videos...all those who said they have seen are from a very great distant and they can't really judge how it look like. most of them say its like a saucer. but for me, it can look like anything.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.
