About this day I was fishing in a small river in the country side in Holland , it was in the afternoon on a nice sunny day. I don't know why I looked up and then saw this about 10 - 12 ft round very shiny bright orange florescent ball, it was hovering about 3 ft above the ground and only about 50 ft away from me, it made no noise, it had no windows or doors or wings or legs etc-- it was just hanging there, I then thought that it maybe a balloon or so, so I then walked towards it to see it up closer but then IT start to move towards my left and kept the same distance, so then I started to run to IT and IT kept the same distance, then a barbed wire came up but IT went up and over and came down to the same about 3 ft above the ground as I kept to follow IT there came a row of pine trees like 50 ft or more high so I think that IT maybe will get stuck there, by that time IT was about 150 ft in front of me and IT stopped still for a sew seconds but then IT moved about 10 th degree from vertical to the wright and in a second IT was gone in the clear sky.I knew then that IT was not a balloon but a UFO, I am sure that IT was checking me out or so, I somehow never told any one for 30 years as I think that they would not believe me and then I only told my wife and sister. So in all this time I seen this thing (IT) for no less then 6 to 10 minutes. I never forgot IT for more than 55 years.Casey
