A Sussex County, DE, couple experienced fear and odd behavior during and immediately after a "huge disc" UFO slowly moved away after hovering directly above their home, according to May 1, 2013, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network ( MUFON ) witness reporting database.
The couple had been watching television together in their family room when the wife walked to the opposite end of the home to smoke a cigarette about 7 p.m. on January 23, 2013. Although the couple had lived in the house for 20 years and had never heard owls on their property - the woman began hearing what appeared to be multiple owls hooting.
"Marveling at the loudness of the hoots and the seemingly numerous owls that had popped in for a visit, I went to the windows to see if I could pinpoint the locations," the reporting witness stated. "When I looked out into the darkness, they stopped. Then I walked away toward the family room and they gave another series of hoots."
Both the husband and wife became alarmed.
"I observed his body language more closely and determined that he was rather alarmed and startled which I found satisfying as I felt the same. We seemed to both be, at the same time, wanting to go out with a flashlight to investigate, but I stayed behind and walked quickly back to the living room to watch his progress."
The wife thought that her husband's behavior seemed odd.
"I didn't see him so I came back to the family room and he was already coming back through the sliding glass door. He seemed frustrated and agitated and stammered, 'Those things are long gone!' I was quite startled because he had never progressed any farther than a few steps onto the patio. He had never gone all the way around to the front of the house where the sounds came from."
The wife then walked back to the living room to look through windows herself.
"I peered out the living room door and I saw a huge disc in the sky, barely moving, coming straight from over our house going east! It had lights randomly blinking red, blue, yellow and green!"
The woman then returned to the family room as her husband continued to act odd.
"He seemed totally uninterested and was watching TV again! I looked out the sliding glass doors that he had just a few moments ago re-entered and the craft was still quietly gliding, well, creeping along over the field next to our house! I thought, how odd that was, because it seemed that there were small airplanes buzzing around it! I thought it would be in the news or something but it never was."
The woman then attempted to view the craft through binoculars as it moved slowly away.
"I look at the craft and it was not focusing. I was suddenly extremely fatigued and had to go sit down. I glanced out the door and could still see it and asked my husband if he didn't want to see the UFO. He said, 'NO!' That was it. We said no more and forgot about it.
