The Encounter
The person, Rudy, shared his UFO encounter from when he was 9 years old in 1978. He woke up early one morning and looked out the living room window. He saw a large, bright object moving slowly across the horizon. His mother's boyfriend, Scott, also saw the object. They both watched it as it hovered for a few minutes before it shot straight up into the sky and disappeared. Rudy did not understand the significance of the event at the time, but as he grew older and became an engineer, he reflected on it more. He has since become an avid UFO enthusiast and often thinks about why he was awake that morning to see the object.

Rudy
“I remember seeing a very very bright large object that just immediately caught my attention.”
At the age of 9, I witnessed a very bright large object moving slowly across the horizon, which then hovered and shot straight up into the atmosphere.
The object I saw had no blinking lights and was too large to be a helicopter.
The significance of my UFO encounter has grown over the years, especially as I became a material science engineer.
