When I was about 4 or 5 years old

When I was about 4 or 5 years old
That makes it hard to remember too, I bet. Just as a focal point. You say you can't remember the "bold writing". You were to young to know letters but you say writing. Was wondering if you could remember just one of the symbols. Sometimes it helps to jog memory by focusing on one part of something. One symbol. It had a shape… like a…

I love your thread title!
Was your neighborhood around any type of military base or government facility?
My sister and I had a sighting together when we were young, like 8ish and 10ish. We ran into the house and got our mom, but it was gone when she came. Funny thing is, we didn't really talk about it until much later because we were kids and that was that, let's go ride bikes! But when it finally came up again years later, our memory of its appearance differed greatly. I trust her memory more than mine because she is older. But we saw something that was not right.
Damn kids.
Great story!

It's just that I was trying to imagine being part of your recollection (place myself within that scene) and it doesn't ring true. By 'ring true' I mean it has the sense of surreality that overlays the most realistic dreams. For example, how long could you stand and watch a moving 'rocket' of that dimensions within your back yard? At 12' feet high, wouldn't it be beneath tree-lines, shrubs, fences and walls? Would it have been manoeuvring rather than straight-trajectory? Given the shape of the object, the speed you suggest wouldn't be enough to stop it from falling to the ground. After all, the ballistic shape is one that relies on propulsion and doesn't have the wings for gliding.

I've had some things like that happen that tend to defy logical explanation. You try to search deep within your memory to make sense of it. Interesting.

I have some very weird memories from when I was 4 or 5 too. 4 is generally about the age you start to recall events baring anything traumatic. most people don't recall anything earlier or really cant put memories into context before 4. My memory is of GI Joe action figures being animated on a movie screen and being a part of a really cool movie that I helped create. I have no idea if its a real memory. It was a very magical time. Memories in general are very pliable especially from that age.

cell phone cameras suck and it would be unlikely that a 5 year old in 1980 would have one handy.

The point was that cell phones were rare amongst five year olds in 1980.
