A small dark purple quad-thruster craft hovering 200-300 feet in the sky.

I just recently have remembered an event that happened in my early childhood years.

I was about 8-9 years old playing football in my street with my brother and a friend that lived 2 houses over. I looked up into the northeast sky and noticed a small/medium craft hovering. It looked to have 4 thruster looking devices on the underside of it. If I could compare the underside of it to something, it looked like an one of those simon says electronic games. Each of the 4 thrusters had a flap dangling from the outside rim of the undercarriage.

As the craft would ascend, the flaps would uncover the thruster simultaneously. If it would descend, the flaps would cover them up.

The top side of the craft (not very visible to me) looked to be a half sphere. The craft's body was a black/dark purple shade.

This took place in East Mesa, very close to the Apache Junction/Mesa boarder. Just south of the US60. Major crossroads: Baseline and Guadalupe
