When I was about 11 years old and living on a farm in Oklahoma (I am now forty eight and live in England) I had a very clear UFO sighting. I believe I have even left a posting about it on the FT message boards somewhere but wouldn't know where to find it now

Anyway, the point is that I never really told more than about five people what I saw over the next nearly 40 years, and had very carefully never told ANYONE about a certain aspect of the sighting. I eventually posted on this forum to see if anybody else could come up with a similar sighting, but I kept that certain detail secret and never told anybody of it because I always wanted to see if anybody came up with an exact description of what I saw without knowing the exact details of my own sighting.
Well now all these years later I can say that I have finally found another witness report describing exactly what I saw. This isn't a new sighting but it is new to me because I had never come across it before. It seems to have happened some years after my own sighting and not in the same locality. Here is the web address of the report:
http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case583.htm
All I can say now is that I believe someone saw the same thing as I did which to me shows well enough that we saw SOMETHING alike. I was already interested in UFO's as a kid when I had this sighting and I ran into the house to get my camera to try to take a picture of it but was unsuccessful. There's more to that bit of the story as well but it's not important here.
The thing is that at the time it looked all too "man made" for my liking. As a kid you WANT to see a spacecraft from another world with strange beings aboard. I can't really describe why, but it just didn't really SEEM like some spacecraft from outer space, which over the years got me to wondering even more about things like time traveling humans coming back for a look (archaeological tourism?) or secret (possibly military) projects and things of that nature. I still think about alien intelligences that might contact us, or us contacting them at some future point, but nowadays I am far less inclined to entertain the possibility of such beings looking anything like humans or being transported in such a way, but that's all too lengthy to go into here.
I still don't really know what to make of it but at least after all these years I finally know that somebody else has seen it (or a very similar type of "it") as well, and that somehow makes me feel much better.
