The ship was flying very slowly in a straight line from east to west (from right to left). He remained at the same height and was momentarily blocked from view by the church building. We (and the dog) ran to the corner to continue the inspection of the ship. It continued to hover low over the main street and suddenly stopped, hovering over (from our point of view) a residential area, about a mile away from us. 

It hovered for perhaps a minute or less, then seemed to change direction and slowly descended vertically from left to right. We both couldn't believe what we were seeing and were so excited that I ran home to get binoculars and a camera. My sister was on duty. 

Returning no more than 5 minutes later, she didn't see anything else. The ship just seemed to "descend" into the neighborhood. We walked about 1/2 mile in the direction where we thought she might have landed, but we didn't see anything. We were both clearly shocked and excited/scared. I am 31 years old and my sister is 23. We've had other possible cases, but nothing more irrefutable than this.

Full Description and Details:

"My sister and I went out to take the dog for a short walk before bed. It was just before 10 p.m. and we had been out about 5 to 10 minutes. Upon walking back to our house, we were crossing the street and were at the mouth of a parking lot of a church on the corner of the street (we are almost at the top of a small hill). Looking north, we noticed a very large, brightly-lit craft flying low above the tree line. There were several passenger jet/aircraft flying at higher altitudes, so this really stook out. It was flying extremely slow in a straight line from east to west (our right to our left). It stayed at the same altitude and was momentarily blocked from view by the church building. We (and the dog) ran to the corner so that we could continue viewing the craft. It continued low above the main street and suddenly stopped, hovering above (from our vantage point) a residential neighborhood, perhaps 1+ miles) away. It hovered for perhaps a minute or less, then seemed to change direction and slowly descend, from left to right, in a vertical slant. We both could not believe what we were seeing and we were so excited, I ran home to get binoculars and an instant camera. My sister kept watch. Upon returning no more than 5 minutes later, she did not see anything else. The craft simply seemed to "descend" into the neighborhood. We walked approximately ½ miles in the direction where we thought it may have landed, but saw nothing. We were both visibly shaken and excited/scared. I am 31 and my sister is 23. We have had other possible sightings but nothing as undeniable as this."
