Summary:  A Manchester, OH, witness reports waking up “to the house shaking like an earthquake” and watching the quarter-acre backyard light up like “daytime,” according to August 4, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The witness was house-sitting for a son at the time and lying on a couch. “There was a storm, then the storm passed and I fell asleep,” the witness stated. “I woke up to the house shaking like an earthquake.

When I looked out the sliding glass doors I thought it was daytime except the light was exceptionally bright – like looking at the sun, but you could see through it.” The witness looked out into the backyard – about one-quarter of an acre – where everything was lit up. “In a few seconds the light disappeared and it was night, everything was dark, and I felt like I was in shock or couldn’t move or think. I just laid back down on the couch and went to sleep, but I felt it was really strange –  almost dream like.” 

Full Report

I was lying on the couch at my sons house, I was house sitting, there was a storm then the storm passed and I fell asleep. I woke up to the house shaking like an earthquake, when I looked out the sliding glass doors I thought it was daytime except the light was exceptionally bright like looking at the sun but you could see through it. I could see the entire back yard about 1/4 or so of an acre. In a few seconds the light disappeared and it was night, everything was dark and I felt like I was in shock or couldn’t move or think I just layed back down on the couch and went to sleep but I felt it was really strange almost dream like. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it and wondered if anyone reported anything in Manchester on July the 7th or 6th. I do have another experience that is really old that I have never talked about, I will also fill out a form on that one because I am not sure which experience Cathy wanted me to report.
