1969-07-01 - New Castle, PA - Disk

It was July 1969 on a clear summer evening in a rural area in western Pennsylvania. I was 16 years old and my brother was about 7. We drove to the store to get ice cream. It was about 3 miles away. Coming home we were coming down the hill and I noticed a bright star/light above us straight ahead in the sky. As I came down the hill I had to make a left turn to get on my road. The star made a 90 degree turn, too! I thought that was odd... then about 1/2 mile down I made a left into our long driveway and it went above my car and hovered over our garage. It was disc shaped. Very plain. No lights, no sound, no wind, no windows, no rivets or seams. It was a satin dull nickel color.

I got out of the car and looked at it. It was no more than 10 feet above our garage. It was approximately 20-30 feet in diameter. It didn’t have any bubble top and it had a slight convex bottom. It didn’t do anything. Then after about 45 seconds it just moved out and took off over the ! woods in our backyard. I saw it. My brother was too young to remember much. He didn’t get out if the car until I said let’s go tell mom and dad. We went in the front door and told. They didn’t know what to say. I wasn’t afraid.
