It was mid 1975 in Waco Texas. My husband worked in Houston so I was alone except for the kids. About midnight every dog in the neighborhood started barking and howling. I couldn’t get back to sleep when my little poodle started growling so I got up and went outside. We lived on the edge of Waco with a dead end street and no street lights or commercial buildings. It was pitch dark! I walked around the back of the house and could see a blue glow coming from the corner of the house. What the heck? A few more steps and I saw it. It was a round or oval shape about 8 feet diameter, no doors or windows.. It was a beautiful blue and glowed. Like is common now in electronics. I stared at it for 5 or 6 seconds then it shot straight up and disappeared. I went in the house to bed and back to sleep. Oh, it wasn’t on the ground but about 2 foot above. No sound. I had not been drinking or doing drugs. There’s one thing thats been bothering me. I remember CALMLY going back to bed. No hysterics. After seeing so many abductions lately this seems strange.I only told my husband and a few close friends but learned to keep quiet. I’m elderly and decided to file this as my days are running out.
