It was kind of late at night and I was driving home after getting off of work (call center). I had been at my job nearly a year with the same schedule and I always took the same way home every night about the same time. It was a really clear night and I was completely awake and sober. I was driving through Catoosa, Oklahoma on Rt 66 (you know the road) heading toward Claremore. That particular part of the road had very slightly rolling hills. The road is built up and if you look to the side, the road sits even with about 1/2 way up the pecan trees to the side. I had just passed the Blue Whale road monument and in the distance I saw a really really bright white light. There is a cell phone tower near where the light was comming from and I thought they had put a new light in or were working on the tower or something. As I drove closer, the light got brighter and brighter, but I was still thinking it was from a cell phone tower. Finally as I came over a hill, the source of the light was in full view and was really close to the right side of the road. What I saw must have made me appear to be a drunk driver. I slowed the car way down as I drove by and was stretching to my passanger side as much as I could to try to look up through my passanger window to see this thing better. I was all alone and I am pretty sure I said "holy crap! It's a UFO" outloud.
This thing seemed right out of a movie, except it was way bigger than I remember in the movies. I also remember saying "are you freaking kidding me?!?!" outloud. And then laughing. A little side note about myself...I grew up in a haunted house and have had loads of paranormal experiences. I always considered myself a paranormal magnet. I have always been interested in the paranormal....except for UFOs. I always found them totally snooze-fest boring. The only thing more boring than UFOs were USOs.
Okay back to my story... As I was saying, this thing seemed right out of a movie. It was a classic disc-shape. It was just barely over the tops of the trees and it was just floating there. I opened my window and I couldn't hear anything and the branches of the trees below were not moving. None of the trees were moving. The craft was at least as big as a football field. It was absolutely massive and really close. Like I said the road was kind of off the ground compared to the trees. It didn't quite hang over the road, but it was so close. I could see the bottom of it really clearly. The big white light was in the middle and there were two smaller white lights on the side of the big one. There were no colored lights anywhere, just the 3. One thing that later struck me as odd, was that I could see the seams of the craft underneath. The thing was made of shiny silver colored metal, but you could tell that it wasnt made of like a solid slick piece. It kind of looked like the bottom of the ship from star-trek. Once I past it from farther away, the disc shape had a little hump in the middle at the top. The only thing that could have made it look even more like something out of the movies would have been to have a little window on the hump with little greys waiving to me.
As I was swearving around under it at about 2 mph, I looked up at the road and saw some other cars going by.Although it was late, it was a Friday or Saturday and people were driving home from the bars. It was weird though, because it almost seemed like they didn't notice it. This giant well lit metal disc the size of a football field was just right there and no one was slowing down or nearly swerving off the road like I was. Then next day I wondered if maybe it has some way of making itself not as noticible to other people and I just happened to be one of the few freaks who could notice this thing. I also thought about hypnosis, because once a hypnotist made me go sit back down in the audience because I just wasn't getting hypnotized like all the other volunteers.
I remember thinking that I could try to take a picture with my camera phone, but when the view showed on the grainy screen what the picture would look like, I didn't even bother.
I never saw it fly away. I reluctantly drove home. I kept looking back at it though as I drove away. I kept thinking I should turn back and look at it some more, but for some reason I kept on driving. I was really excited though and called and woke up a close friend on the way home to tell them what had happened. I was really embarassed about it though. All of my closest friends know about my paranormal experiences that I have been dealing with my whole life. Eventhough I saw this UFO, it seemed far fetched even for me. I even told my friends how embarrased I was to be describing my experience outloud. I didn't want anyone to doubt my sanity. I would joke and tell them that I'm probably going to wake up to see Bigfoot going through my garbage bin one day.
My paranormal experiences continue, but I have not seen another UFO. I still take the same way home from work nearly every night and when I come up over this particular little hill where it happened, I wonder if I am ever going to see it again or anything like it.
