Yes, I believe so. I have seen strange things in the sky, and am an avid stargazer, but once I had a very scary experience 3 years ago and it was actually on Memorial Day. I was letting my dogs outside to go potty, it was around 10:30 at night. The lights of my porch (security lights & porch lights) were on. I was looking out watching my little dog (don't want an owl to get her we have a lot here) & all of a sudden there appeared a very bright light and it appeared over my neighbor's garage. I tried to figure it out - was it a helicopter? No, and I started screaming for my dogs to come inside because the light was rapidly getting closer. When I started screaming for them it literally disappeared it shrunk down in size and literally zoomed off. A fear so strong overcame me, I left the dogs and ran inside & started crying instantly (feat response) and shaking all over. I actually laid down right on the kitchen floor- my husband didn't understand what was wrong and I couldn't speak. After 20 minutes or so I finally could speak coherently & told him what I had seen. Since I was a little girl I've had odd dreams about aliens & was absolutely terrified of ET as a child. I was forced to watch ET by a babysitter, but I was afraid long before that ever happened & had the strange dreams before then too. That is the closest encounter I've had. I know and have seen spirit lights, this was not a spirit light (as those while mysterious do not put the fear in me). I am in NY.
