A Black Disc with lights going around

Around 20:15 PM, April, 1975, Mildura a country town, night had fallen, a clear night sky.

I love the night sky.

On foot , returning from a short errand.

A final look at the night sky, turned around, and there it was, a large black disc with lights going round and round, just sitting there in the sky, low enough to land, I reckon half a mile up maybe less, hovering, I thought it was going to land, it just sat there.

Brass band music was coming from a nearby sports ground, the rehearsals of a marching girls team.

I strained to hear the drone of a helicopter, it was low enough to lift the dirt away from the ground as a chopper does, no, not that.

I heard our neighbour come from his house , and made his way towards me, not noticing what was in the sky, when I stopped him and proceeded to ask him , pointing to the object in the sky. ``what is this? so that I’m not dreaming``, he turned around, looked and said holy ``----- its a UFO ``.

We stood there for sometime, before my neighbour left , as he mentioned that he had things to do in Mr --- `s home, two houses from mine.

Being 16 on the street after dark ,I returned home quickly, to find my mother stressed over the new TV not working, I said I had just seen a UFO to her disbelief, a member of the family ran from the house to catch a glimpse of it and returned to say that it had gone.
