Young boy spots UFO in North Carolina.

The craft was Huge and cigar shaped and covered in multi colored lights. The craft it self was a metalic or silver grey. At that time I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. I was in my second floor bedroom at time looking out the window,it looked bigger than the house.  I was scared to death I have never seen anything like before or since. I never told anybody before until recently because I was afraid nobody would beleave me. I was also fasinated by it a lot but I did not Know to do about it. Thank you for hearing my story it is a relief to finally be able to tell some one who might beleave me.  I am sorry if it is not detailed enough but that was along time ago and I was just a boy.
Date is approximate.  PD
