Full Report Text:

A light was seen up in the sky with small lights shining down from it it dissapeared and a possible abduction took place the following night. As I was walking across our backroad (we live in the country) and it was mostly black outside, I was going to our neighbors, when I noticed that the side of my neighbors house was lite up brightly and so were the pine trees that border the left side of the house, at first I thought nothing of it, but then I realized something in the sky was lighting it up. I wirled around to see and the light instantly vanished.

There was no sound at all. Witnesses include, myself, my aunt who lives about 3 houses away, and a friend of my neighbors who lives a few miles away. I never actually saw the craft, it vanished AS SOON AS I TURNED AROUND (like it was watching me) I got the description from my aunt.

The following night, I was walking down our hallway with the lights of, just in the dark, when the whole hallway lite up bright red, then whent to a dark blood red. At first I thought it was the tail lights to a car, but it wasn't. I also was frozen in the position I was in.

I have told myself before if anything wierd like this happens I'll go investigate, walk around, etc, but I couldn't it was like I was frozen. The light eventually faded out and things came back to normal.
