i had just made coffee and walked to the front window while waiting for my cup to cool down. looking out the first thing to get my attention was a flash of light at the intersection a block away. i remember thinking that it must have been a police car shining it spot light at me as it went though that intersection. blowing on my coffee and taking a sip i noticed a light moving toward me from the west. when the light became too bright for a car my heart beat began to race but before i could even think a white glowing cylinder with dome on top rounded the corner. it was hovering 3 or 4 feet above the road and the top was leaning in the direction it was moving. this amazing thing stopped at the intersection in front of my house, still hovering, and a beam of light shown down block at the houses on the west side of the street. then the beam went out the dome moved and a beam shown toward the houses on east side of the street. next the beam goes out and the dome moves then the cylinder leans west and moves down the block to the intersection where it turns a complete 360 degrees and then leans north and moves out of sight.
