It was a winter night in November of 1999. Myself and four other people were traveling to salcha Alaska to stay the weekend in a friends cabin. We were just passing eileson Air Force base when I noticed a light. I said to my friends, when did they put up that tower. When we got closer I noticed three white lights. This is when we pulled to the side of the road. We noticed the three white lights about two hundred feet apart forming a triangle. In between the lights was an outline of a black craft. It was a dull matte black blocking out the stars in the night sky. The craft was hovering just above the spruce trees. Black spuce in Alaska do not grow very tall so I would estimate it being about fifty feet off the ground. It was completely silent. We watched it for around four minutes until one of the passengers said, let's just leave them be. So we did. We drove off and continued on our way. We never even talked about it. Like it was an everyday normal event. Looking back I am amazed at how unfrightened we were. It was almost like we were sent away from the craft purposely. We even had a camera in the car and never even considered using it. Were we controlled that night by an unknown force ?
