UFO Close Encounter Visual Up Close and Followed at walking speed

I was 14 years of age 1974 and went outside in back of house were living to feed my dog.

At this time I had no clue what a UFO was but later in time by paper back books it became apparent I witness a close up encounter of a bright lighted UFO about 25ft in diameter and 20ft height completely floating in place 30ft off the ground and complete silence. I watched it about 50ft away for 1 minute than all of suddenly it started moving very fast in a triangular pattern at same level of height covering about 50 yards distance no sound and precise movement and stop in same place it was hovering when first seen and my dog too. I went back inside of house scared told my mother she told hurry up and feed the dog and go to school. I set the dog pan outside if back door watching it still hovering in same spot, grab my books and against my will heading out the back door and started walking to my 8th grade school that's like 4 to 5 blocks away. As I was heading down to my first intersection on 103rd street this UFO was following me at the same speed I was walking and about 500-1000ft high as I stopped at the traffic light to make right turn it stopped and continued to follow me in the direction of my school at same speed I was walking until I was half way to school I was scared and about to run the rest of the way suddenly the sunlight had reached its horizon being still dark outside but sun beam noticable the UFO took off at that precise second at the speed of light into the darkness of the universe above me I could still see stars above until I couldn't see it anymore totally vanished from visual contact.

Than about a year later the same type of UFo As appeared again close encounter at same location of house at night time about 9pm but further back in the property in the wooded area where there is a road like opening for about 2000ft it was same shape bright light no sound heading toward me and my dog about 50ft off ground and the light was intense that I was watching the circular pattern of light on the ground as it was above when it got closer like 75ft of me scared I ran all the way back thru the woods to my house without getting any injuries from tree branches along the way and the last I saw it. Till this day I'm 67 years old I haven't ever seen another one and not sure I want too.
