Sterling, MA Shape: Unknown Duration:3-4 hours I am a Technical
Sergeant in the USAF. My encounter was long before my AF career,
but I feel it is time to share it.  In the summer of 1990, a
friend of mine and I camped out in my backyard. I lived in
Sterling, Massachusetts, on a five acre horse farm bordered by
woods, a river and, behind a row of pine trees, the neighbor's
yard.  We set up camp in a fenced-in enclosure where we had a
tree, a swing set and a sand box. Our tent was set up about 200
feet behind our house, under the tree. It was a small, blue two-
person tent the shape of a dome. Behind our campsite was the
horse paddock and to our west was a garden where we had grown
vegetables throughout the warmer months.  We stayed up into the
hours of darkness playing cards and telling stories. Around 10pm
we heard a loud bang
