    I can remember that i was an child of 8 years. I was looking outside the window and saw a sphere with loads of different lights. The sphere looked metal en i saw little orb looking lights. with green blue and red. It seemed the time stood still for a moment. When I blinked again with my eyes it was gone. I never talked with someone about this. I thought that I saw a hallucination. Somehow this article makes me think that it might be true what I saw.

We swore not to speak of it because of redicule small towns can be brutal They are real and have been here a long time but until you witness them it’s difficult to believe
