California - 10-11-08

My mother woke me up terrified early morning to tell me what she had witnessed. After I heard her story, I was excited and a bit confused.

Here is what my mother told me.

She woke up early that morning as usual and made herself a cup of coffee and went outside to smoke a cigarette. She heard a very loud bang like an explosion.

Since it was the weekend, the first thought in her mind was that someone returned home drunk and that day, we would hear that someone had crashed into the gate in our gated community of residence.

She said after a few minutes she sees what she thought was a thief. Less then 80 ft in front of her she saw a long, skinny figure come running around the corner of the house facing ours and when the figure spotted my mom, the figure faced the wall of the house.

It came around the house, still trying to hide. My mother said the figure's height reached the bottom of the start of the roof, which is around or more than 7ft in height.

She said it was very slender like a pole and silver.

At this point my mom was terrified and tried not to show it, but wanted to get back in the house before this figure got to her.

So she slowly moved back, and at that point like the speed of lightening the figure moved from where it stood to a tree that stood about 1 5ft away and disappeared. It vanished in front of my mom's eyes.

My mother was startled and frightened and never went outside alone that early again.

When my mother was telling me the story, she was telling me how this thief looked and was dressed in silver, all confused. She also said the head of this figure was large.

It was an exciting story to hear, and I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes, I consider my mom lucky to have experienced such a thing.

PS: We no longer reside at the address where this took place.
