My niece and I were setting on the front porch when I felt some one watching us. We looked straight above us and seen a large craft hovering above us.

As we watched, the craft started coming down, as it did so it was turning slowiing at the same time. It was the shape of a cylinder and silver in color, and it was all lit up with a light that came from all over the craft. I couldn't see where the light was coming from, the whole craft was light. 
We were so frieghtened that we jumped up from the step we were setting on and turned to run in the front door. We were frozen in place and couldn't move for a short time it seemed.  I could move my eyes, but that was all.  I seen my niece beside me frozen too. 
Then it released us and we ran into the house. When we came in my sister made the comment that we had been out there a long time. To us it seemed we had only been out there a few menutes.
