The Encounter

The experiencer was awakened at 4:20 AM by a loud sound, thinking it was a helicopter crash. When they looked out the window, they saw a bright flying saucer hovering over nearby pine trees. They observed it for about three minutes and woke their wife, who also found it beautiful. The saucer moved in a circular motion before leaving quickly. An hour and a half later, the sheriff's department contacted them to draw a sketch of the craft. Seventeen people, including deputies and neighbors, witnessed the event. Afterward, the experiencer noted physical changes in the trees and a sense of ongoing curiosity about the encounter.
