I also had a close encounter with a UFO that was kinda bell shaped.

I have described it before as like a big Top that was flat on top and flat on the bottom.

I saw it when I was driving from Virginia Beach to Indiana on a short leave from the US Navy. I was a test cell technician on jet engines in the Navy.

I was driving down the highway a few miles outside Virginia Beach when I saw colored lights on the highway out in from of me.

I was thinking that it must have been stop lights or something, but I couldn't figure out how there could be stops lights out on the Interstate Highway.

As I got closer I could see this UFO hovering right over the highway.

I slowed down and I drove right under it.

It must have been only 100 feet above me and I saw it was a UFO beyond a doubt.

Then after I passed under it I could still see it in my rearview mirror.

Another time in California when I lived in Badger I had a lucid dream that I was on board a giant mother ship.

It seemed real because I saw a form of alien script on the control panels of a laboratory where I was setting on an examination table.

I didn't see any aliens, but in my dream I had been abducted onto this UFO and was inside an alien space craft.

Before I was actually on the UFO I had a dream that I got up out of my bed and looked out the window and saw a massive UFO mothership that looked hundreds of yards wide.

the next thing I know I am dreaming that i am inside the thing.

The next day my wife said she saw aliens in our house that night and actually in our room standing around our bed.

They had some kind of pistol and holster on she said.

There are some strange things going on over them Sierra Mountains.
