We spotted an object about 1/2 mile away in the sky, close to land, moving erratically like nothing we've ever seen before.

My friend and I were driving at dusk on a dirt road near Cherry Creek, and the sky was a beautiful orange/yellow, when we saw this metallic object floating in the sky one grass fields and a few trees, at first we thought it was a helicopter, then it dropped real fast, stayed there a few seconds then shot back up to where it was, that's when my friend and I stopped the car and got out, we watched it hover and make slight moves, then it shot to the right and started to come towards us, we saw it real clear and in detail, it was a disk with a bubble on top and round window, or something like that, going around the bubble. It got pretty close and just hovered for about 5 minutes then shot straight up and disappeared within a couple of seconds. We looked at each other and said Wow! what was that?? I realize that this was 60 years ago, but back then we didn't believe in flying saucers, it was a thing of sci fi movies. I have never told this story to anyone until about 2003, when I met GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS, I had an art design business in Marin County, and he came in to get some art work done, he told me about his new project of a TV series called Ancient Aliens, and even gave me copies of his Magazine, he actually listened and heard my story, and I felt comfortable talking to him about it. I've been wanting to tell this story for 60 years, so thank you for making it available.
