Full Description & Details

I saw down above a street in the city a hovering craft that as close as I could determine was saucer shaped, flat on the bottom. This was a different type of hovering than a helicopter, much more controlled. It would pivot back and forth from my angle while hovering with a single row of white lights pulsing around the bottom rim of the disk. It hung above the street for appx. 30 seconds and began to move over a gated community due south. I tried to follow, lost it, but again found it down the street perpendicular to the one I first sighted it on. I saw it floating above what seemed to be another gated community. Being almost twice the distance, I gave up chase and went home.

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

Unlikely. Unless a helicopter with a very wide disc built on bottom, with pulsing perimeter lights. Can't understand why they would need that, but even that is ridiculous, other parts of the copter would be visible as well if that was the case.

Witness Background

Black-jack dealer; family man

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Mildly interested skeptic. Stopped believing in recent years really.

Other Comments

I also saw what seemed to be the same craft hovering very rigidly above the city west of here two nights later. Farther away, less confidant about sighting, but the movement did not suggest a helicopter.
