"FULL DESCRIPTION OF EVENT/SIGHTING:" This is the first time I have ever written of this event. Late evening around 9:30 p.m., we were coming home from my aunts house in Spring Valley NY. We were in my mothers Toyota, Corolla teal green hatchback.
The color is important to the story. As we were driving along I noticed something pretty far away scanning the forest, that is parallel to the Parkway, with a beam of intense white light. It was just scanning as if looking for something.
There weren't any other vehicles on the road, traveling east or west. I was sitting in the backseat and my mother drove, the windows in the back did not roll down, but opened a little with a push-out lever, so that it pushed outwards about 3 inches only from the back part of the window.
It's hard to describe unless you've ridden in one. I kept watching it as it slowly made its way closer towards the Parkway. It was eventually going to intersect the with the lanes. As it went over the car, the beam changed color from white to the exact color of the car, a brilliant teal-green/blue beam of light.
The beam also narrowed just to barely encompass the car. At this point my mother began to get scared and wanted to get home as soon as possible. I tried in vain to look at the object from the back of the car. I couldn't get my head out of the window to get a real good look.
It followed us for what seemed like 5 minutes and then crossed the highway and the beam changed back to white again and began to continue scanning the woods for something. We reached exit 12 which was the Mt Ivy Route 45 exit back then.
We got off the Parkway and turned onto Route 45, made a right as we traveled less than 1/4 mile. We were on a sort of elevated hill as we came into Mt Ivy. I could then see the object clearly because it was only 300 feet away from the car.
It's hard to describe, it had a cylindrical shape, but not uniform. It looked metallic and rotated had a small red light on top, looked like a probe of some sort. It had markings of some kind as well. As we went down the hill it continued west and was now parallel to Route 202 heading towards Suffern.
We live in Pomo Andna so we had to travel 3 minutes more on Route 202. I saw it it get further and further away from us just scanning the woods with its spotlight. We get home soon after and we get out of the car get inside.
There was a bright full moon that night, mom got her house key out, opened the door and we ran in. We went straight to bed and we never talked about the incident. Many thing are odd about that entire night.
Firstly, we always went to my Aunt's house on the weekend, but we never took the Parkway because it doesn't make sense.
We would have gone on Route 45 which connects Spring Valley to Pomona by a more direct route only turning onto Route 202 for the last 3 miles of the trip.
Secondly, I remember traveling south instead of north when we approach Exit 12. That makes no sense because we would have been coming in from Upstate NY and we never did that.
Thirdly, whenever we got home we always talked and watched TV and stayed up until midnight. That didn't happen.
Other things happened consequently, but that for another time, nose bleeds, migraines and horrible dreams of not being alone at night. A mysterious presence and a petrifying fear of something in my room at night that plagued me for years.
