{rjl} discovered the football shaped object sitting over my grandpa's field (cows were not there) we watched it for about 25-30 minutes. It suddenly flashed various colored lights and zoom it went in a straight line away from us and disappeared from view.
My grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousin and a friend and I (7 people)were grilling hotdogs summer of l962, I graduated from high school 1963, The adults were in the house and us girls were on the concrete driveway cooking when I looked up and spotted the object over grandpa's field. We all said, "That looks like a UFO," and called the adults out to confirm or deny it. We all watched it for several minutes, finally the adults went inside the house as the object just stayed in one spot, making no sound, and they were bored. I kept watching it the whole time, neglecting to help cook and prepare the hot dogs. I couldn't tell that it got any closer but I asked the girls, doesn't that look like a row of windows running across the center of that football shaped thing? They agreed, and I then wondered if I couldn't see something in one of the windows, but it was really too far away for me to be sure. After nearly half an hours the object flashed colors, I tried to memorize the color cycle (somehow I thought that might be important) and staying horizontal to the ground, it quickly zoomed out of sight, no sound was ever made. My cousin and friend and I are the only ones still living to tell of this incident and even though I messaged them about it recently, I discovered they never told anyone else about it in all these years.
