I saw a UFO that was brightly lit, with a pattern on the side, in the middle of the night.

This either happened on the night of November 9th or 11th 2004, as I remember it being that week and a Tuesday or Wednesday night. I was 11 years old and was sleeping in my living room as I couldn't sleep in my bedroom. I could not fall asleep. I noticed around 1 am I noticed a bright light coming through the shades of the window. I got up and looked through the shades. As it was winter time, there was no leaves or trees blocking the sky. When I looked out I saw a very large disk that appeared to be close by, but I could not tell how close, or where it could have possibly landed because this was in the middle of the neighborhood. I felt as though I was hypnotized and stood there staring at it for over five minutes while it slowly, and silently, moved down below the horizon. It was a disk shape and completely glowed like the color of a highlighter. I remember staring at it and seeing a pattern on the side of the disk that shined in white. It was hard to make out because it was white on neon yellow. However, the pattern I was able to make out and later recognized as a meander pattern from greek mythology. I do not know why I didn't run to wake anyone up. It was completely silent and completely calm. I am unsure how close the craft was but it was close enough to see great detail. I would estimate 300 yards or closer. There were no negative feelings and I do not remember what happened afterwards. It has been nearly 20 years and I remember this like it was yesterday.
