Summer of 1980...First and thankfully last encounter. Kansas City, Missouri

As me and my mother was walking back from getting some ice cream....we was looking to the southwest sky and seen a sphere object that was bright gold color with a dome on the top of the sphere with bright lights around the edges of the abject, like a small ring going around the bottom-center part of the craft. It was traveling southeast and made no noise at all. We motioned to 3 guys standing around a car talking. After we finally gained their attention the craft vanished from sight as it passed some tree tops. We never have talked about this to no one as we feared either people wouldn't believe us or the would make fun of us. I was 11 years old and have never forgotten what I seen. I still occasionaly have nightmares about seeing the craft and sometime dream of being obducted. It sounds funny to say this now, but when I have the dreams. Its very frightening.
Date may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.  PD
