It was a dark night. A few stars were visible above the horizon. We were stargazing and awed by the majestic sight. Suddenly it seemed as if a lot of the stars were fading away. To our surprise suddenly an unidentifiable object moved into our sight. We thought it was very strange because it didn't look like anything we had ever seen before. Of course; we tried to take a picture, but suddenly all of our electronic devices jammed or stopped working altogether. Shocked, we took out our compass, but it spun around uncontrollably. We felt like we couldn't do anything but watch, as if our minds were clouded by its presence. After some minutes (which occurred to us as hours) the object flew away again. We noticed that our mobiles were working again and that the object had only been there for thirteen minutes and 37 seconds!!! We decided that it would be the best to report this incident immediately.
