My brother and I were feeding our animals at 0600 before school. Saw big saucer with lights under.

My brother and I were near a pasture by our house. We rented the house from . Their house was on the top of the hill overlooking our house. There was a large pasture with cows, barn, etc. I looked in the pasture and saw a huge saucer shape craft hovering above the ground about 4 feet above the ground. I was about 20 feet from it. All of a sudden it went to the side and up. I could see what looked like colored lights just like a Simon Says toy. I could hear a quiet whirring and in the middle of the bottom it looked like some type of a fan or turbine. It would go up and to the side. It would go to the other side many feet apart, but I did not see it during the movement it was so fast. It went from side to side about four times and then was completely out of sight in the matter of about 30 seconds I could hear whirring. I remember it being silver in color but do not remember any distinguishing markings or windows. I did not see any beings. My brother and I both saw it take off, but I was closest to it. My brother was on the other side of the barn as I remember. We did not tell anyone about it because we knew no one would believe us. I never felt threatened or in danger. It was so incredible to be so close to it and see it make maneuvers that were really not possible.... at least I thought. The house is now in flooded area because the PUD bought the area and I think demolished the houses. There was a huge slew beside us at the time. That happened after this sighting. I am very happy that people are starting to talk about this. I have kept it to myself for the most part, but my brother 70 and I (66) talk about it frequently.
