i went outside to let my dog out to go to the bathroom. it was very windy outside 30mph winds along with thunder and looked like lightning, there was a big flash but never anything after the flash. i sat down on my front steps and was looking at the sky to the west, then looking northwest. then seen lightning and when it flashed i seen the object. i first thought it was just a helicopter from a distance. then i sat there and my dog started to growl at something west of where i was sitting. towards the neighbors back yard. then i stood up to see if i could see whatever it was. did not see anything. thought maybe it was a deer cause i live in the country.well i sat back down and lit up a cigarette, then i looked to the northwest and there it was, i was like wow what in the heck is that! note there was no one around all were sleeping, just hear the wind and flash of lightning bolts. anyways it hovered in 1 spot about 1 mile or so; then it started to float alone going south, was barely moving along like it seemed, then after 8 minutes it was out of site over someone corn field, i was gonna get in my truck and follow it but didnt kinda had the willys. it was big enough to see that is was not no airplane, no heli, was nothing of this world. it did not look like anything i have ever seen. as for my feelings i started to shiver and felt weird like ok i am not alone out here lol i better get back inside and lock my doors. kinda freaky.
