Full Description & Details

I was around 10 or 11 at the time of the siting and I was on my way home from my next door neighbor's house. Our subdivision was still fairly new and I looked over to my right to look at the nearby tree line and I saw the disk going in a slow motions from my right to left. Since it was dusk , I could not see if the object was matalic but it did have lights that seemed to surround the edge of the saucer. What really freaked me out was the saucer did a slow roll while from back to front while still going in the same direction. The lights seemed to circle around the saucer. I only had site of the disk for about 10 seconds before it went behind the treeline and I never saw it again. I immediately told my dad who was over at our other next door neighbor's house and they both said it had to be a satelite or something. My Mom excused the whole thing by saying I had been playing hard all day long and my mind was probably playing tricks on me. I've often thought about going to a hypnosist to see if they can help me remember if I actually saw something or if it actually was my mind playing tricks on me. What ever it was made a lasting impression on me because I can still remember those vivid details like it was yesterday

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

definately not man made because the object did a front to back roll without changing directions. Any conventional propulsion system would have reversed the direction of the object in a front to back roll.

Witness Background

I am a professional Banker by trade and musician in my off time.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was just a kid at the time and I knew very little about UFO's. I do believe there is something out there that we just can't explain. I'm not sure about the whole Roswell thing but It sure would help if we could get our hands on one of these objects.
