Full Description & Details

I was around 13 or 14 years old at the time of the sighting, I was in my room and don't know why but I looked out my window and saw a very large saucer shaped object with lights around the parameter flashing, I would say that it was about 80 feet in diameter, it was moving very slowly to the south I believe, my dad was an airforce fighter pilot and an airline pilot and I knew that it was nothing that I had ever seen before, I yelled to my sister to come quick, she ran into my room and saw it also, she couldn't believe it, we called my parents up stairs to see it but by the time they got there it was gone, my mom said that a couple of days later that there was an article in the paper that it was an airforce test of some kind, I don't know if she made it up so everbody wouldn't think that we were crazy, or there really was an article about it, to this day I have never seen anything that looked like that. Some u.f.o photos look similar to what I saw, My sister was always a straight A student and very credable, and when I bring it up to people she always says boy that thing was weard looking. I am sure that it was nothing man made.

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

no way
