At first, I considered a helicopter high above the city and perhaps one to two miles away. It was ‘solid’ looking, bulky, and ‘dark’ gray to black in appearance. However, the more I watched it the closer it came, and the nearer it came the more anomalous it looked. <br><br>I quickly realized the ‘UFO’ was much smaller and much closer than originally thought, and it wasn’t a helicopter. Instead, it was about a third of a mile away, made no discernable sound, was about the size of a very large man, and looked oddly ‘humanoid’. I was well aware of some of the recent sightings of unidentified flying humanoids (U.F.H.s) witnessed and filmed in Mexico, and considered the possibility (Ref. 5 & 6). I also considered tethered ‘balloons’, and a released inflatable ‘parade character’, but it didn’t actually look or behave like either. After about ten seconds I drew Kris’ attention to it and we observed it together for several more.<br><br>Knowing I was only a block and a half from our apartment, and observing how slowly the unidentified object was moving (perhaps walking speed), I decided to run back to retrieve our HI8 video camera. However, as I said this to Kris, the UFO immediately stopped and began to head away from our position in a North Westerly direction (Fig. 2C-G). Determined not to lose the opportunity I ran, while Kris continued to watch incase something changed.<br><br>While on route to our apartment I sighted the UFO several times, as it passed above and behind city buildings (Fig. 2C-E). Upon arrival, I quickly noted its location, direction and speed (which had remained constant), and ran inside. Moments later, I was back outside with a HI8 camera (Fig. 2D). However, much to my frustration, as I tried to film the object I discovered the ‘charged’ battery I thought I had was flat! Rushing back inside and out again, I began filming the UFO as it slowly approached a cross street, about 350 feet away (Fig. 2E). The first clip is about 10 seconds long and includes an un-zoomed view of the street and sky in which the UFO is flying, to a half zoomed view of the mysterious object (Fig. 3). <br><br>Curiously, as it approached the cross street, and flew over it, the UFO seemed to form a ‘cross’ almost in the sky (Fig. 3). It was the only time during the entire sighting that I saw it do this. Seconds later, what had looked like outstretched ‘arms’, or appendages of some kind, were now down in a half resting position (Fig. 4).<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/Fig3SM_UFO_04_350ML72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/Fig4SM_UFO_04M72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/images/Fig9SM_UFO_04_260_&72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/images/Fig10SM_UFO_04_M300.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
