THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SIGHTING MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE WALKING OUTSIDE OUR APARTMENT COMMUNITY WHEN I POINTED OUT A CROSS IN FRONT OF THE MOON. THAT WAS ODD AND A FIRST FOR US. THEN BEFORE 10PM WE NOTICED A TRAIL OF CLOUDS OR EXHAUST THAT LOOKED LIKE WHITE STAIRS. WE HAD BEEN WALKING AND I POINTED THAT OUT ALSO. THE FOLLOWING NIGHT I WAS WATCHING TV, MY GIRLFRIEND ASLEEP, AND MY UNCLE EATING, WHEN SOMETHING TOLD ME TO GET UP AND OPEN THE SHADE. I DID IT WITHOUT HESITAION AND I SAW A VERY BRIGHT WHITE-YELLOWISH ELIPTICAL CRAFT HOVERING OVER SOME POWER LINES. I WOKE MY GIRLFRIEND UP AND GOT MY UNCLE OUTSIDE TO VIEW THIS OBJECT. THEY WERE SHOCKED AND IN AWE. PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE LAKEWOOD SHOP RITE OBSERVED IT TOO. BEING THE LEO THAT I AM, I WENT OUTSIDE TO FOLLOW IT. IT MOVED SLOWLY WITH STRANGE LIGHTS DESCENDING FROM IT LIKE DROPPING FROM THE SHIP AND COMING BACK. MY DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBOR CARLOS SAW IT TOO. SO I WENT OUT AND FOLLOWED IT FROM A FAR DISTANCE AS IT CONTINUED EAST OVER THE COUNTY LINE AREA, ANOTHER ODD THING WAS THERE WAS A LADY SITTING ON THE CURB SIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, WITH A JEAN JACKET AND JEAN PANTS ON. I COULDN'T MAKE OUT HER FEATURES BUT IT WAS ODD FOR ANYONE TO BE OVER DRESSED AROUND 130 AM IN AUGUST. IT DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT. MY UNCLE THOUGHT THE UFO HAD TAKEN ME UNTIL THEY MET UP WITH ME ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES LATER. I CALLED THE LAKEWOOD POLICE DEPT. AND THE DISPATCHER REPORTED OTHER OFFICERS SEEING IT, I THEN CALLED THE MUFON NUMBER AND MY PHONE CALL WAS BLOCKED. AS I WENT OUT TO WORK THAT MONDAY THERE WAS A RED BLIMP THAT SAID GOLDEN ON IT BUT THAT WASN'T WHAT WE SAW,THE BLIMP WAS OUT BY THE LAKEWOOD AIRPORT. ANOTHER ODDITY IS THE BIRTH OF MY SON ON AUGUST 16TH THE FOLLOWING YEAR. WE HAD BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 1987 AND HAD NO KIDS TOGETHER OR SEPARTELY.
