The Encounter
The experiencer is a woman who left work and felt an impulse to visit a specific area near an air base. Shortly after arriving, she saw a UAP that was smaller than previous ones she had seen. The craft was about 20 to 30 feet in diameter, had a silver metal appearance, and featured two solid domes. It made no noise as it moved around the area. The woman took several photographs, but some came out empty. She observed the UAP follow a C-130 airplane before it disappeared behind trees. She felt confused and hoped others would notice the event. She believed military personnel must have seen the object as well, given its visibility and proximity to the air base.
