The Encounter
Tim Lee, his wife Bobby, and their son Hal witnessed a UAP on March 13, 1997. They were returning home when Hal spotted five distinct lights in the sky. The lights appeared to be on a large craft that flew directly towards them. Tim and Bobby joined Hal outside to observe the lights, which changed formation and revealed a triangular shape with bright lights. The craft moved slowly and silently, passing directly over their house. They estimated its size to be enormous, covering their neighborhood. After the encounter, they felt awestruck and unsure of what to do. They did not report the sighting immediately due to the stigma surrounding UAP experiences but later shared their story with others who had similar sightings.
