I was 7 years old about to go to sleep. the above location data is just a guess I don't remember where I lived exactly. this was the first of many UFO sightings through my life. this is the only one that was without a doubt I knew what I was looking at. the others were just anomalous lights.
ok, the sighting: I was going to sleep, staring out my window and I saw a glowing orange/red saucer it must have been less than 100 yards away. it was zig zagging in a weird arc and went behind a building. I got all freaked out and ran downstairs and told my mom I saw a flying saucer and she told me to go to bed and stop fibbing. the craft was pretty big.. at least 30ft across. I remember this like it was yesterday. my first thought (mind of a 7 year old) is I thought it was the lost saucer from sid and marty craft... then my mom told me there was no such thing .. that freaked me out and I could not sleep for weeks.
I have had a very crazy childhood involving stuff like this.
NUFORC Note:
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
