The Encounter
The person is a space engineer with a PhD in engineering sciences. In August 1983, while standing on a balcony with their parents, they witnessed a small, metallic, glassy object about 30 feet away. The object spun rapidly, became luminous, and shrank before disappearing with a flash of light. This event lasted only a few seconds. Later that summer, the person's uncle saw a different, larger UFO that emitted beams of light. Both the uncle and aunt experienced a vision of a humanoid figure made of light. The encounter sparked the person's interest in UFOs and led them to pursue a career in aerospace engineering. They have since worked on various significant projects but noted that the encounter did not change their life significantly at the time.

Phenomenological AnalysisThe speaker provides a detailed account of a UAP encounter from childhood, supported by a second witness (uncle) who had a separate but related experience. The speaker's professional background in aerospace engineering adds credibility, but the observations lack corroboration from independent sources or physical evidence.
The experiencer describes their background in aerospace engineering and how their interest in UFOs began after a childhood encounter.
“for a long time actually I I really didn't remember this this event”
The experiencer recounts witnessing a metallic glassy object that spun rapidly and emitted light.
“we see this object appearing in front of the balcony exactly at the same level as the balcony like 30 feet in front of us”
The experiencer's uncle witnessed a different object that emitted beams of light and had a humanoid vision during the night.
“he saw it basically arriving on his left eye and the sky”
