Pretty sure my kid saw a UFO

So this isn’t a mind blowing story by any means but I wanted to share mainly so I don’t forget about it and because I know people here will actually believe me. I’ll start by saying I’m a skeptical person but not to the degree that I don’t think we’ve got company out there and probably closer that we think. I live in an area in the Northeastern US that has had a few strange events and sightings, one very famous one from the late 60’s. So it’s something that happens around here.

So my son was about 5 years old playing in his room at night. My wife and I were in the kitchen cleaning up and he starts shouting “Come look it’s a spaceship!” We didn’t (I now regret) come running in to look because he was at that age where kids just make stuff up or think a plane is a spaceship or whatever else. So now he’s all excited and insists on drawing what he saw. So we say sure buddy, it’s obvious you’re excited and not going to bed until you do, so here’s some crayons, knock yourself out. Now he’s just a little kid but he draws what I can only describe as a triangle with a yellow circle around it. Cool plane buddy! Go to bed. He does but all the while insisting it was aliens and a spaceship. Where he got that idea I don’t know, we’re not huge watchers of UFO shows or science fiction movies. He’s also a very smart but not super imaginative kid, he’s more of a practical mind.

So a few hours go by and my wife says “Holy shit. A bunch of local people are posting that they saw some sort of UFO. Here’s a picture.” And in that picture, a triangle type thing surrounded by a circle of light. Terrible description on my part but it’s been a few years and I didn’t save any of the pictures unfortunately.

After that, I’m convinced my little guy definitely saw something. He’s not a tall tale type for one and for another he drew, as well as a 5 year old could, exactly what others saw that night. Could be a drone, sure, but his conviction that it was from space has always almost spooked me. Again, he’s not the type to get to thinking outlandish things. I’ll also say he never cared about drawing until that night and now he’s pretty good at it. Something changed in him after that to compel him to get better at expressing himself on paper.

Sorry that this story isn’t completely amazing but it changed our family’s dynamic in regards to how we view the potential for other worldly visits.
