In the early summer of 97 or 98 i was 11 or 12 and the river by my house was low and my cuzins had drove ther atvs across to come see us. There used to be an old wooden bridge across it to connect Tichnor to Point Daluce but it had washed out during a flood and was never rebuilt. an atv could cross where the bridge was. The stayed the afternoon and had supper with us. Me and my mother fallowed them In our van to make sure they was able to get back across the river. We see them safely across the river and are coming home I look out the window after I catch a bright light Out of the corner of my eye. I see this giant ball like object in the western sky. It was wide stripped with warm colors redish orange and yellow orangeish. There was 2 bright dark red ovals that was about 2/3s the way down. I looked at my mother and before I could see say it she asked me. Do you see that! Scared I looked farward and said no. I glanced backnout the window to see it zoom of in a south by South west direction. For the longest I wouldn't even talk about it. I spent years trying to forget it and after I had convenced myself it was a dream. About 4 years ago a friend of the family brought it up. I now realize wat I saw was a UFO and it was no dream. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thery was no additional sitings of and military present around that time. But I have seen transport helicopters, helicopters in general flying high throughout my life in my area. I hvae seen a F16 abiut 2 tree tops high fly right over me biut 1/2 mile south of my house. I feel this needs to be reported to try and find out just exactly wat I saw. I believe I saw a UFO.
