You know, and a flashlight.

So I'm setting up in the front of the canoe and, you know, we're having no luck at all fishing when the other guy goes, what the F is that?

what the f is that so we all sort of like turn and look toward the back of the canoe and i see this aspirin tablet sized white circle and i'm thinking that is the freaking moon you moron but then i noticed that it was moving and it was moving faster than moon moves

It's moving at about like this speed right here.

And it's hundreds of yards away from us.

And so we just sat there bewildered looking at this thing.

And then it kind of like makes a left turn.

And then it starts coming straight toward us.

Yeah.

And so we're watching it and watching it and then.

We notice, as it gets closer, the tops of the trees are illuminated.

And this thing's only about 15 feet above the tops of the trees, just coming straight toward us.

And when it was about, eh, less than 100 yards away from us, directly across, I thought, I wonder what the hell it'll do if I flash an SOS at it.

So I had one of those...

square battery flashlights with the handle and the push button i put my hand over the lens turned the light on and then i three short three long three short and then this thing stopped i mean it just no sound whatsoever just stopped moving and all of a sudden this big cone of light

blue light, like a neon blue, but it looked like a giant glass straw.

You know, it looked like it was open, a void in the center of it or something.

And this light starts from the bottom of the sphere coming out across the lake toward the canoe.

And that was when I realized the sphere was coming with it at the same time.

Oh, yeah.
