Later in the day I got a phone call from Max Mitchell, the state director. We spoke for a while and he shared that there had been a lot of activity in that area. I also checked UFO Stalker (at Christopher Knowles' urging) and there were a lot of reports, especially around Cedar City. THat would be the largest population site near there, so the "cluster" makes sense.<br /><br />We spoke about how it simply isn't logical to build a big round house in that location. <br /><br />Also, he said it reminded him of the famous "round house" located on a hill top in Colorado. << http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptured_House >><br /><br />I was familiar with the house from Woody Allen's SLEEPER, and I thought the very same thing while lying there in my sleeping bag.

That round thing with lights perched on a hil...Hey! That round thing with lights perched on a hill is EXACTLY like a UFO I saw from the cabin where I lived in the Hocking Hills in Ohio! One day in late autumn of 2006 I was sitting at the computer and I noticed what I thought was a round house with lights on -- just like you describe-- at night.<br /><br />[I looked to see if I wrote about it when it happened, but it was during the time I wasn't writing so many entries (when I was struggling with depression.)] <br /><br />At the time I saw it, I thought it was odd that I had not noticed something as obvious as a round house up there..! Hours passed as I continued doing my thing, and the lights stayed on, just as before. I went to bed thinking it must have been a vacation home that was rarely used or something (though it would have to have been a BIG house!) and that the leaves off the trees meant I could finally see it on the hill, while during the summer I could not. At night, from the weird angle of the window I could see out of, I wasn't sure of my bearings exactly in relation to the 'round house.' <br /><br />HOWEVER!! The next day I looked out the window at the exact spot where I had seen the "round house of lights" before-- and there was NOTHING there! No round house! No structures anywhere around. In fact, it was a bare area of hill with no trees. Then I felt really stupid... It was a landed UFO. Just there for HOURS. WTF!?<br /><br />It took me a while to realize that, minus the red light on top, it was one of the Blonds' ships! Please read the description that I wrote at this link:<br />http://spirals-end.livejournal.com/22699.html<br /><br />Note too that later I realized it was the exact same ship that Ethan and his group run around on. Looks like a thick, flat, disk (like a coin) with an antenna-like projection that has a red light that can turn on and off.<br /><br />If you met with Nordics, then I doubt you'd be feeling traumatized, as they're pretty good about things.
