Anyway, my husband
and I were driving, as (they) worked at the *snip*
that used to be there (I think they closed it now). It was a Sunday
night, and as we were driving back to Savanna from Dubuque, there
were hardly any cars on the road, just one or two passing every 10
minutes maybe...and I remember getting a lot of static on the radio
first and playing around with it, and then the car engine started
dying and the instrument panel lights came on, flashing back and
forth, we thought we were running out of gas but we had just got
gas before we left Dubuque. Then we thought the battery was dying,
or something else, so rather than stall in the middle of I-30 we pulled
over just to the side. There were cow pastures on both sides of us, and
a sort of dirt lane that turned off from the main road running aside a
cow pasture.
Anyway, we sat there for a moment trying to start
the car and it was flooding by that time, all static on the radio. Then
I remembered feeling really weird, like being hit by a bunch of little
needles all over, a prickly sensation, itchy-like, and I thought mosquitoes
were biting me, and I start slapping at my arms, and my husband David
felt it too, and he started rubbing, slapping at his face like something was
biting him, and then we heard this weird low, vibrating hum outside that
seemed to be getting louder. There were no cars out and I remember
saying to him, "what the hell is that noise?" and as I said it this big ray of violet
kind of light shot down into the field next to us and I jumped/screamed
at the same time because it scared me. (My friend) thought it was a helicopter
at first and we both looked up and there was this big, "shale" shaped black
object, flat appearing, just kind of hovering over the field shooting down this
violet light here and there like it was looking for something. I looked up at
it and you could barely see it, it blended in with the night sky. The only time
I could really see its outline was when it shot one of these beams down.
It was about 100-200 ft above us, maybe the same distance away from the
car.
The car was totally dead at this point and (my friend) and I were freaking out,
he wanted us to get out and get under the car. He told me to get down, and
he opened the driver's side door and we slid out the door and tried to hide
behind the door, but when we touched it we got a big shock on the metal.
We were hoping a car would come by and see us, but no one did! So in-
between these light bursts from it, we ran across the road to another cow
pasture and we jumped inside the fence. We laid down on the grass and
just watched it. It didn't seem to see us, but it was HUGE. From where
we were we could see the outline of it better, and I would say it was the
size of half a football field. It had some perimeter lights around the bottom,
violet and a green yellow color. It seemed like it had an irregular shape,
and it reminded me of a piece of coal shale, flat with jagged irregular edges.
It was gliding really slowly, but there was this big hum to it.
We watched it
for awhile, I don't know how long, it didn't seem like a long time, and then
it all of a sudden started humming louder and there was like a crackling
noise, like an electrical charge kind of snapping and popping, and then
these lights on the bottom started twinkling and it just elevated really fast
straight up, and it became really quiet and just sort of floated off into the sky.
We just laid there for a while scared to get up, and then in the distance we
could hear sirens, so we ran back to the car and by then we could start it
up. So as we sat there we saw this state police car zoom by us with its
lights flashing, and it took off down this little dirt road we had parked near,
and they were really clipping, like they were chasing someone, so I don't
know if someone reported the UFO or if there was something else going
on further down that road, or if it had stopped down there too, but there
was a lot of commotion. Strange huh? I never forgot that night...maybe
they were trying to do some cattle mutilations. But, see, back then, I
never knew what cattle mutilations were, but as I look back on it, that
could have been what was happening. Very strange. I was really scared!
