Early morning in August, several of my teenage neighbors and I were waiting for one more person to show up, in order to begin our paper routes. While waiting, we noticed overhead, no more than 1/4 of a mile up several large discs progressing westerly under their own power. The only sound I heard was more of the craft moving the air and very little else. These objects had now lights and appeared to be shaped to cut through an atmosphere at very high speed, although the speed they travelled at this time appeared to be maybe 50 miles an hour. These craft came into view only at a near direct overhead angle and seemed to vanish into the darkness at the same angle at which they appeared. We were awestruck. The person we were waiting on arrived and had seen them also. An old man who lived on this corner was going to work at this time. We saw him staring up at the sky and asked him if he saw them.
