My first wife & I were driveing in our ol' motor home on way to a family gathering(step mothers & father`s side).Anyway, we were about at the Idaho -Washington boarder(a high desert area),when I thought I was looking at a huge "harvest-moon" and made comment to my then wifeI recall saying something in particular to the buety of how full & bright it looked.She retorted with a less emotional wisp,yet - she wondered how I could be viewing it frontward while she said it looked normal size and was to our back side ? After realizeing that the pale-ish yellow moon was indeed to the MH`s far - back southwestwardly side via a stretching look back in my side mirror, I whooped the MH over on a pull-out.I had Diane get out w/me and we both stood in awe of the perculiar sight of what appeared to be the regular moon and a real spectactular larger and more white-lite moon-like sight,too.After a few seconds we could see that this larger moon-like thing was seeming to travel along the top of a far-off desert cliff/platoe top,seeming to becomming closer toward us. All of a sudden,without a sound or a swing turn, it just str8-away began an assent at a slight upward angle in an at first seemingly fairly slow climb.It stopped briefly - then made a complete square corner turn(not a normal round-ish corner turn at all),then in a very fast and seemingly str8-up bolt, it shot away untill it completely vanished into the starry heavens/space.I say "seemingly" alot, it has since accured to me that this "thing/UFO" must have actualy been possibly larger than our moon and farther away than it looked(or earth satalites and/or monitors would have informed someone ?). I knew it did not fly like anything I'de ever heard or seen, and at the time did not believe it could have been anything American and/or of our planets.I am now not so sure, as have theroes of government secrecies - allowing UFO`s to cover-up war-type expariments (?).Although,I'de have to admit that at last glmpse of whatever it was that we saw, it must've been doing near light-speed (?)!I have no idea "if" *****would still remember out experiance(I do'nt know how she could possibly forget it),or if she'd not "recal" it just in - spite of being my "X",now ? But, I'de be willing to do a "lie-detector" test to back up my belief in whatever it was I saw. I have no idea wether anyone else seen it or not, seems we heard some clatter of sightings on a radio w/in a short time of that, but I do remember that we discoused the matter and desided not to make an official sightings-type report to any place at the time. I figured that I probably would just be thought to be "nuts or something" ! As it was, Idaho ranchers/farmers did'nt take too kindly to "long-haired" men, especialy ones from "California", at that time.About a year or so later I thought I was seeing another such sighting off of the California coast, near San Gregerio beach;But, it soon turned out to be a blurry hellicopter light -beam, though the engine must've been well mufflered - as it ran fairly quiet,yet not completely silent as the "real" sighting event. Well, I hope I've amused someone if nothing else ? I seen a program on a PBS channel and heard the name MUFON, looked it up on our PC and thought:"why not ?" Besides, this can finally be my telling of this story to people who'm may not think I just made-it-all-up or went "crazy" ? After 30 years,someone should know, heh ? I'm not an aventfull UFO watcher, I do'nt even watch the stars.Occassionally I view the "Northern Lights"=Aroera-Borealis",or whatever(?) and a comit,or shooting star - but other than that, I like Star-Treck & Sci-Fi ! "God bless you folks in your endevers, have fun".-Bye,bye.
