Full Description & Details

I remember the date of this occurence because it was the day before the Challenger explosion, and I was home sick the day that happened. I have never reported the sighting because I was a child at the time, and figured I wouldn't be believed, especially considering that respectable adults (police, doctors, military personnel etc.) aren't believed about their sightings to this day. I was walking across the parking lot of my apartment complex on my way home from a friend's house, when I noticed a disc of light hovering high in the sky over my apartment building. I was very curious about space travel and exploration, and it was on my mind since the space shuttle was to launch the following day. It was definitely not a normal looking night sky object, as it was so high in the sky and not moving at all. I stopped to watch it and it just sat there for a little while, and then suddenly it shot off in a "Z" shape in the sky (it zig-zagged in other words) and took off faster than anything I'd ever seen and was gone from view in a matter of seconds. I dont' remember any loss of time or anything like that, but when the disaster happened the next day, I couldn't help but wonder if the two events were somehow related. I scanned the news in the days following the disaster, and my sighting, but there was no mention of the super fast flying disc of light I witnessed.
