A visit by a ufo object by a young child in 1958

This is the first time I have told of My experience with an outside our realm of understanding space craft or object. 
I was four years old and played in my grand mothers yard, the front by myself, Bored with my trucks and cars I would look around at the sky  to see what I could see.  One day I saw a tiny speck in the distance floating, like the end of a pencil so small, It was above some power lines across the street in the distance. I was curious but well, I was only four. I went inside and came back outside the next day to play. Curious I looked up to find the spot had gotten closer in the same location. no detail  just closer. I got very excited, not sure why. Maybee having something to look at starred at the thing, size of a base ball above the power lines.
Next day I was so excited to see the thing , if It was there? And yes getting even  closer. I sat for hours gazing at the object. It got closer to me and I could see some detail. It was round like a little earth. Solid but translucent at the same time. It was constantly moving the outside  layers as  to reach to  change and react to the world. It was communicating but not in words. In a visual mindset. I wish i could explain. I fell in love with the object and could not get enough. It came so close to me that I could almost jump and touch it but would move just out of my reach. The next three days it started moving back further away and finally left. Two questions is how can a four year create  something he has never seen? Why  did  I have such a great connection with this object? I honestly believe that there is something beyond our understanding.
