This happened some years ago:

I had taken my dog outside, it was dark, pm.  I noticed what I thought was a star, the longer I looked, I thought this was a VERY Bright star, A star, but too close to the ground.  I do not know how long I was outside looking at the light.
I went into the house, where my two teenage daughter's and a boy friend was, and told them to come look at what I had been watching.
Again, I don't know how long we were outside.
All of a sudden the LIGHT started toward us, (going east) it took some time,  and then I thought it was a helicopter.
There was no sound, it was triangular in shape, and 2 or 3 different colored lights besides the white light in the center and dark in color.  It went over a neighbors house.
My daughters teenagers approximately 14 and 16 and the boyfriend 16, and myself saw this.
 I have on my left thigh, a hole, sorta pitted.  I wrote an author of a book years ago and he seemed to think I had a encounter of some kind, and said I could go to a hypmotist, but he warned this could be tramatic.
