Sunset on wednesday, september 27th, 2017, not a single cloud in the sky. i happen to be sitting on a bench next to the hudson river (in poughkeepsie, ny) in deep meditation. when i came out of my meditative state, i was feeling very groggy (never happens). something told me to look up to the left towards the moon. as soon as i looked up i saw a craft coming from the se. but it didn't appear to be coming from a distance. it kind of appeared in the sky. at first, i was pretty sure it was an airplane since it had a flashing white light on it, though i found it strange the flight altitude was much lower than usual for an airplane. as it starts to turn slightly, i start to notice that what i was looking at was not an airplane. the structure had a white flashing light in the back. attached to a fluorescent light green cylindrical center. on one end, there were three squares. one next to the other, and they seemed to extend quite a bit from the craft. very distinguishable. all three squares were a bright, pinkish red. then, as soon as i come to the realization that i'm seeing something i've never seen before, the craft comes to a dead stop! at that moment the craft morphs into a beautiful emerald green fluttering zigzag. it was kind of like a strobe light. i've never seen such brilliantly clear, intense colors! when the craft morphed back to it's original shape, i jumped off the bench and started filming. as soon as i started filming, the craft performed a straight descent then just like a right angle went left on a straight line, in the complete opposite direction. as i started to film, and realizing what was going on i automatically started to send the craft positive thoughts, love and peace. as soon as i had done that, the craft came back in my direction, stopped and flashed three consecutive white lights straight towards me! after this happened things became a bit blurry and i started to feel as if i could sense whoever was on the craft. i kind of became deliriously happy. not afraid, happy. as soon as i snapped out of it, the craft morphed ascended and morphed into the emerald green strobe. then it went back to it's original shape, did a 360 degree turn and steadily, without a single sound headed east until it was out of sight. now, as i had mentioned earlier, i was filming most of this with my iphone. i was holding my iphone about a foot in front of my face, slightly above the horizon with my left eye on the craft and my right eye on my phone so that i could be sure that i was filming everything correctly and catching all of the action. i filmed for at least 3-5 minutes. what happens next just adds to this mystery. after the craft left, i felt as if some kind of spell was broken. my head was heavy and i was dizzy for a while. kind of like a bad hangover. i walked back over to the bench to sit and to anxiously watch the footage i had taken with my phone. i turn the video on, and all that's on it, is a 15 second video of the ground! i was't filming anywhere near the ground. also, if i was filming the ground, chances are you'd see my feet ir a shadow. nothing. during the video you can hear me breathing very heavily and at the end i let out a strange kind of happy sound from my mouth. friends of mine who have seen the vide, were really freaked by it. how this happened is beyond me! i meditate on a daily basis. i am a buddhist and a believer of alien life. for the past two weeks, i've been sending out positive messages of love and light into space hoping that i would receive my first true experience. i'm pretty sure that was it! i can't get it out of my head, and i also have the feeling that i will be seeing the craft again. also, a buddy of mine who has a boat docked in the area where i had my sighting has had quite a few himself.
