Countryside of Sivsagarh.
In my grandparents’ village at Bakata.
It was near dusk. The
sky was growing dark in the distance. Sun was setting down. In Indian
mythology, the time of the day when God took Narashimha avatar to kill Hiranyakasipu. My Aunt was washing utensils.
And uncle was cutting few wood logs….just preparing for making dinner and
morning breakfast (bhatar sou).
There are three big
fisheries, and swathes of wetland surrounding the backside of the house. Beyond
the marshy areas, there is a dense forest. On other two sides of the house there
are patches of land filled with ripe paddy crops and mango orchards. In front of the house, there is a gravel road running
parallel to River Dichang with densely grown Sal & Mahogany tree in
between.
Suddenly, the sky
became very bright… Aunt and uncle got very frightened looking at the sudden
change of the nature. Panicked to see the shining sky in flick of seconds.
Unexpectedly, their
eyes spotted a huge object in the sky that changing the color and moving towards
them with tremendous speed. Both were so terrified that they could not run
inside the house…….They kept standing where they were. “First I thought my eyes
were playing tricks with me. But when I saw my wife’s open mouth and eyes, I started
counting the last moments of my life and jumped to her to save her if possible.”,
uncle said.
The strange object plunged
down about 700 mtrs from them and stopped and hovered about 500 feet up, just above
the wetland. Uncle said, “If it had been on the ground, it would have covered
about a block of at least 600 square feet. It had about 10 feet height. From distance,
it looked like a slate of metal, and the color was gray. It was round, and at
the base, there was an opening about 1/10th the size of the object from which a
very bright light was coming out. It moved faster than anything I ever saw.”
It was stand still for
a minute and then it moved slowly towards the other side of the pond. My uncle and
aunt quickly came inside the house and kept an Eagle eye through the window.
The object changed its color from blue-white to orange and then to red.
Aunt
said, “There was a lighted outline around the edge of this object. I saw few
windows just above the lighted part. The object made no noise and a mild wind blew
at the time the object was at its lowest level.”
She
added, "It went to the northwest at a slow speed, making all the jungle area
bright and the object disappeared after about 15 mins. But I could still see the light in the sky
for next one hour.”
Yes,
it was probably a Flying Saucer. I have a secret desire to see such UFO in my
life.
Yesterday,
around 12:30 AM. I was about to sleep. Suddenly, I could see some bright light
through my window. I was so excited, mixed with a bit of fright; I thought
probably I am also lucky enough to see UFO like my uncle and aunt. I quickly went
near to my window…………...but Alas! That was nothing, but a Diwali leftover big
Parachute Sky Lantern Fire Fly.
