It was 1963-64, I was 8-9 years old. It was just getting dark and we saw a very bright star in the north sky. It then turned into a cloud of mist or smoke, it then formed into a blimp looking craft. Very LARGE, miles possibly. It had the same look as the Moon, it appeared to be out of the atmosphere, BUT HUGE and silent.

After it passed over, maybe five minutes, I went in to tell my parents. Of course they poo-pooed me but turned on the radio and, sure enough the news was reporting a UFO over Miami. They reported that it was believed to be a Russian derelict satelite, in 1963-4??
