I was around 8. Saw an amber light arc over my house and stop directly over me. It “looked” at me or seemed to know I was there.
The year was 1978 or 79. I was around 8 years old. It was mid summer and very hot. It had just gotten dark and my mother asked me to take the trash out to the trash can. Our trash can was basically right outside our back door and across the driveway a few steps. The back door light was on so I could see easily. I walked over, put the bag in the can and just as I was putting the lid back on, I felt I needed to look up over my right shoulder. When I did, I saw an amber colored oval glowing light arc in the sky over my house. It abruptly stopped almost directly over me. It seemed to notice I was there because it came right over top of me and stopped. It seemed to move over to my position with intent. I don’t know how high up it was but if I had to guess, I would say maybe 1000 ft?. I can say that it was large. If you held a nerf child sized football out in front of you, that would be about the size it was in the sky and almost the same shape but with more rounded ends. I looked at it in total awe for a few seconds and it felt like it “looked” at me too. Then it took off the same way it came….very very fast. Even at the age of around 8 I knew it was very strange and I was stunned. I ran in the house and told my mother but of course the thing was gone and she didn’t see it. I still remember it vividly to this day. I feel like it somehow got my attention so I would look up and see it. It was completely silent so it wasn’t a noise that provoked me to look up. I just had the sense that something was up there and I needed to see it and the way it moved so quickly to be almost right over me still makes feel like it knew I was there. (I know that sounds weird). It moved very swiftly and smoothly. I’ve tried to explain to people how it moved and the only way I can describe it is by taking a flashlight and pointing the light on a wall and then moving the light in an arc very steadily. It just moved so smoothly across the sky but fast. It was gone in a split second. I’ve seen some other lights in the sky but nothing that looked or moved like that one
