Please dont think I'm crazy. The year was approx. 1983 or 1984.

I was about 8 years old. I was living in Garden City Michigan with my parents.

I dont remember a date: I can tell you that is was warm outside. at approx 11:30 pm or so.

My father was a truck driver and was out of the state. I was staying with my mother.

I had a friend spending the night who went to get us some Toco Bell on his bike.

I remember that helter skelter was playing on TV and there were a bunch or Regan and Bush election comercials on. My friend was taking a long time to come back and my mother and I went outside to see if he was comming down the rode.

We spotted the boy driving his bike down the rode holding a toco bell bag..

He looked up in the sky with his mouth hanging open, dropped the bag and fell off his bike. We looked in the sky and seen; "Your going to think I'm crazy" A HUGE round craft with lights all around it and a a bright light comming out of a big hole in the center. It was kinda like a doughnut...there was a hole in the center but the light was blurred or hazy so we couldnt see beyond the hole..The craft was made from some metallic material. "Looked like grey metal. The craft was turning at a medium pace in a circle hovering right above us. The craft was so big it looked like it was a lid to a cookie jar that we were inside. I started running in circles crying...my mother was grabbing me trying to get me in the house...As soon as she got into the house she called my grandmother up on the phone. My grandpa and grandma looked outside and seen the same craft. They said it looked like it was right above them object. My mother left the phone to go see if it was still there. My mother and I went outside and it was still there. A second later it took off slowily in a diagonal direction upwards then come to a complete stop..then it Zoomed off with a flash in the opposite direction leaving our site. My grandpa seen 1 other small craft leaving with the main one...But I only seen one. Concerned, my mother called The GC Police dept. And said " Please listen. this is not a prank. There was something over our house about 5 minutes ago" The police said. MAMM, we havent had any reportings of any objects in the sky today.It was probably just a plane. My mom got pissed and hung up.

The next day I seen something on TV about sightings of a Bush election plane flying around.."Sounds like they were trying to justify something" I would like to see this object again. My memory is slightly clouded due to the time passed. I can say that this was a FLYING SAUCER without a doubt. It wasnt little flying lights or a falling star ...It was a Huge grey metal disk that must have been over a mile in diameter " I forgot to mention, my grandma lived 1 mile away from us." I seen what appeared to be windows with light comming out of them..The funny thing was.This thing had alot of light comming from it, but the groung wasnt lit up nor were the houses in the general area...I find it hard to believe nobody else seen the same thing even thought it was 11:300 or later.

Oops almost forgot..There wasnt any sound from the object that I could hear.
