Darn it! Even when I recount this, I find it unbelievable hearing my own account. It sounds straight out of a b-movie. But I saw it and have absolutely no proof of what I saw. I've went back and re-evaluated in my memory what I saw after I gained knowledge in physics,electronics and aerospace technology. I think it only deepened the mystery of what I saw. The periscope device makes no sense, it was a direct optical device. You could see the ambient glow on the inside of the ship through it, something moved in front of the lense inside the ship and I could see maybe the occcupants eye? I find my own account unbelievable, but I saw it. The technology makes no sense, why would these things need a crude WWII optical device for observations? If it was one of ours, it would've been a sophisticated multi-spectral CCD device with lenses and such. It seems like whatever these things are, they have cruder electronics technology than us, yet their propulsion and power technology is far beyond our capability. The flight characteristics are consistent with the physics of what Paul Hill described. (silent hovering, ionized glow around it, incredible acceleration)
What I saw is too bizarre for most people to accept, I even have trouble believing it myself. Even if I had photos of it, I wouldn't convince too many skeptics. Oh well, I know what I saw, can't prove any of it, and will puzzle over this the rest of my life.
