In mid-september to early october 2017 i was in unity hospital in the town of greece, rochester, ny. i was being treated for pancreatitis, but was not on any medication that would have affected my perception or cognitive skills. on or about september 18, 2017 at approximately 11:00 am, i was sitting up in bed looking out my north-facing window when i observed a cloud-white, flat, thin, oval disk zip across the top left corner of my window. i believe the direction was ne to sw. it was moving very quickly, and the sighting was so brief that i could not estimate speed nor even be sure of exactly what i had seen. a couple of hours later, at approximately 1:00 pm, still puzzled by what i had seen, i again looked out the window and there, right in the center of the top third of my window, hovering in a cloudless, clear blue sky was the same disk. it was flat, thin, oval and cloud-white. its outer appearance was stable and unchanging, with absolutely no viable structural anomalies. it just hung there. i stared at it for a few seconds and remember thinking, "what the hell is that?" suddenly, it zipped off to the east at an extremely high rate of speed. i remember thinking, "damn, it 'heard' me." to my knowledge, i have never had a sighting before and haven't had one since.
