I was walking my dog Ruff (a 9 year old toy poodle cross) sometime between 10:30
and 11:00 PM. We normally walk to the mail boxes down Notch Hill Road. But on this day we
had already picked up the mail in the afternoon, so we walked up Mackenzie Road like we do
on the weekends.As we entered Mackenzie Road off Notch Hill
Road I noticed an orange / red glow just at the bend in the road about 300 feet from my
location (this section of the road has quite a rise). I flashed my flashlight on the
object and it started to rise, I would guess about (1/2) one half a foot per second. It
continued to rise and I watched it all the time not taking my eyes off it. The object was
spherical about 1.5 feet to 2 feet across and about 1 foot to 1.5 feet high. The orange /
red glow was a band around the middle about 4 to 6 inches high and extending to the
outside edges of the sphere. The band at the extremities of the sphere was vertical so the
sphere appeared to have two black or dark half moons on the top and bottom. There were 2
connecting sections between the top and bottom that I could see obscuring the orange / red
glow. See the drawing for the shape of the connecting sections. The glowing section on the
edges was vertical, there appeared to be no vertical connections on the outside edges. The
object did not turn, only went up at the rate noted previously. The rise was not vertical
but up at an angle, kind of towards the moon which was behind me and a bit to my right
hand side. When it was almost past me and about 400 to 500 feet above me, I shone my
flashlight on it to see if I could get a better look. As soon as the light hit it, it
disappeared.
The walk was very short, as I wanted to get
home to tell my wife about the incident. After telling my wife about the strange
experience, it was time to take our other dog AJ out for a moment (he is a standard poodle
just over one year old). We don't walk him on the road. Anyway when he came out he ran to
the driveway entrance and went haywire, barking like mad and running back and forth. I
shone the light all over the place, but could not see anything. I finally calmed him down
and we went in. The next morning, he ran straight out to the drive entrance and looked
again. He has never barked like that before or since.
Two days later I had a flashback. I could
remember other details that I just seemed to have forgotten because I was so intent on
looking at the rising sphere (UFO). When I had first shone my flashlight on the glowing
object, I remembered seeing a pair of green eyes flash for a moment, they were fairly far
apart and below the sphere. I also remembered seeing an extraterrestrial crawling away
from the glowing sphere. It appeared to be on what I would call its knees and elbows, as I
could see the dark shadows of what would have been hands and feet. It appeared to be
having difficulty in moving, and was almost dragging the part that I would have called its
feet. The head was up above the arms but I did not have my light on it at the time, so I
did not get a view of the features. The other item that I remembered, was as I shone my
flashlight on the sphere when it was up above me, the glowing orange / red light went out
and I momentarily saw a silver grey object before it disappeared.
I did go back to look at the site the next
day and the day after. There were no signs on the road, but the grass on the side of the
road was bent down as though something had gone through there. I looked but saw nothing.
