Cardiff, Ontario

Thank you for writing to me, and your interest in my story. It definitely was something unusual and well in plain words it was freaky. To start off I  will tell you that I live in Cardiff, ON. About 2 hours away from Peterborough. I live in a subdivision built on a swamp. There are about approximately 250 houses here. Its not very big at all. Where my house is there are trees and bushes at the back and it is easy to see the stars and stuff at night cause there is hardly any light behind the houses. The morning that this thing had showed up it was a clear sky there wasn't any clouds or anything out, it was all stars and the moon.  The sky was really bright.  I was leaving my neighbours house at approximately three or quarter after  in the morning.  I was having one of my sleeping problems that night and decided to visit my friend two doors over to the right of me. I went over at eleven and left at the time I had mentioned above. When I stepped out the door to turn to my left I noticed this strange light hovering above my neighbours house.  Their house is right beside my home.  I then decided to take at look above where I was standing and all around to see if there were any other clouds . There wasn't.  I called for the women whom I was visiting at the time to come out and see what I was looking at and to give me an explanation for this. She had no idea and neither did I. There was also another person there at the time. He is an unbeliever of things like the unknown. He couldn't figure  out what this was. It was a blackish and greyish cloud that was just sitting there not moving but there were two distinct lights coming through the cloud. They were white and very bright. The two lights were moving in a horizontal motion back and forth, like it was searching for something. My first thought was that it was northern lights. Then I realized that northern lights don't move in that way. There was also this strange noise that was coming from it. It sounded like a car engine and thunder crashing together or something. Its hard to compare with a noise cause it was unlike anything I ever heard before. Then when that noise stopped it made a second noise that sounded like electricity buzzing. That noise stopped and then back to the thunderous sound again it was repeating this for about five minutes or so. I then told my friend that I was going home because it was scaring me and I was worried about my husband. He was home sleeping. I ran over here to my house and immediately locked the doors and shut the blinds and jumped into bed with my husband and snuggled into him. Pulled the blankets up and tried not to make any sound what so ever.  I could still hear the thunder and the buzzing that this thing was giving off. It literally vibrated my windows in my bedroom. That is how low this thing was to my house. I felt like if I even think anything this thing could just take us right here and there isn't anything anyone's going to do about it.  I then don't remember anything I must of fell asleep. However my nieghbour told me the next day that I should of stayed up because the best was yet to come. The cloud had slowly moved to the back of my home where this huge metallic spacecraft was hovering behind it. It was about the size of a football field. The rest of the spacecraft was concealed by the cloud. As it was slowly moving it was blowing this cloud in front of itself and all around as if to camoflauge itself. Fortunately it didn't do a very good job. My friend that lives two doors over has a huge bay window that  is in her livingroom that faces the back of our homes. She and her company saw everything. It hovered for a while then it shot out this huge ball of light that had different colours in it. It then separated into a whole bunch of little coloured balls of lights and then went all through our back yards in different directions.  It continued for about half an hour. When the spacecraft left at or around four in the morning approximately three or four jets flew by in the same spot the ship was hovering. Needless to say the gentleman that didn't believe in ufo's or had never seen one before had just got the shock of a lifetime and is a definite believer now. My friend and neighbour doesn't want to talk about it anymore cause it scared her to death. Myself well I definitely think that I need councelling for this one.Jennifer

Update

Jennifer's husband Gord was kind enough to send along two more reports in which he had been witness to in years past. I am sure you will find them also interesting. Also he has given his permission to place his name to these reports. Over the years, I've had my fair share of sightings.  A couple that I remember well are spooky, yet exhilarating.  The first happened about 1984 when my sister & I were watering our horses in a town just south of where Jen & I live now.  While they were drinking, my sister & I happened to look up to see what we thought was a large looking satellite.  To our surprise, it got about half way across the sky, stopped, & just like  warp speed on Star Trek, got really bright, went to a small spec of light & disappeared!! The next one was a while after that, & ALOT closer, I could've probably hit it with a rock!!  I was coming home one night after dark, and just as I was walking down mom's driveway, I noticed a cloud just over the trees next to the barn.  In total about 200 - 300 yards from the house.  The cloud was changing from a rich blood red to a deep reddish-purple, & so on, yet there wasn't a cloud ANYWHERE in the sky, just the stars.  I ran into the house all freaked out & got my mother & sister, and when they came out, they had pretty much the same reaction.  Then, just as quick, we went back in the house.  A few minutes later, it was gone!! Thank you Gord for these reports.
