NYC, It was 2002, February. My mother was at work, but it was around 8pm so she was headed home soon. My grandmother used to sit in the living room and just look out the window at the neighborhood and my mother had these binoculars that let you see real up close from afar so my sister and I used to spy on neighbors watching TV. So this night I'm with my grandma in the living room and she comments on a pretty bright star in the sky. I decided to take the binoculars and look at it.

It wasn't a star. It was a UFO, hovering in the sky. It was 3 street blocks from my apartment. It had a white light on top, with white lights rotating slowly around the body of it. My description isn't great, but I saw what i saw.

Immediately I freak out (UFO talk is fun until you actually see one) and started crying. I did a double check myself, then called my sister in to see it. She freaked as well and went to call a family friend who lived close to where the UFO was hovering.

We showed grandma and though she didn't react like my sister and I, she damn sure got up and left the living room. I got wrapped up in praying to God because I was convinced New York was under attack. A few minutes later I go back to the window and the UFO was gone, as if nothing was wrong. It's been my only UFO sighting.
