Had no control on tv. ash tray killd itself. the obkect was one big light

date unknown.  it was the same night that walter cronkite announced on the news about people giving there homes and even there children away to go to a trip to eternity.
i think it was in 1978.  and this was on the news.  that night out my window i saw a light stop.  then went on as if to say never mind.  its edges seemed to have points that made it look like a spider crawleing on the sky.  it was creepy.  and i felt its evil.  
i was so shocked i reported it to the police even while knowing I'll make a fool of myself. 
befor i saw this. at one point as i went to change the tv station.  the dial would not turn. and the ash tray fell off the desk and on the floor.  then while it was just siting there, i watched it shatter apart dont know what else to say this is what i saw. 
there was a ufo investagating team in greenwich at the time.  i did talk with them. one of them was called ambrosia or somthing like that
