From the forth to ninth grade I lived in a small town in Arizona “Douglas”.
Uncle Jiggs had a ranch just outside town that he had put a few mobile homes on and rented them out. Our family lived in the double wide at the time. I had four younger brothers, myself being the oldest. There were other families living at the ranch also. Those were some of my best memories as a child.
One night we had a sleepover at my house, and we all decided to sleep outside under the stars. I was around 11 at the time. There were probably about 10 of us out there that evening.
Around one o’clock in the morning, we were all woken to a very very bright light shining down on us from above. The light covered a big area. The UFO made no noise whatsoever, but you could tell something was there. It stayed above us for what seemed an eternity, more like a couple of minutes. We all just stared and some were screaming. Then with the light still shining down it moved to the house across from ours and disappeared back into the sky.
What was it and why was it taking an interest in all of us? That will never be known.
We all finished our night of sleeping inside to say the least. I don’t often think about it, but with all the UFO sightings lately it brings it back to memory once more.

Great story! I remember back In 1948 being in the third grade at Loretta School on 14th Street. It was morning recess when the classmate in front of me yelled, “Look!” I looked up to see four grey UFO’s circling us up above. They were round and about the size of a car. They were flying in V formation making wide circles above us for about 8 long seconds and then disappeared into two enormous cumulus clouds. Does anybody else remember that event?

Back in the day things were kept quiet. My mom and Grandparents lived in Rodeo NM for years. My mom told me stories of people from Rodeo going to Douglas and on the way back a UFO would follow them. If they slowed down it also did and would follow for miles. These UFOs have been studying us for many years now.
