The sphere looked as if it was going to hit the house!

The neighbourhood was pretty populated and it was raining quite a bit that night.  It was approx. 20:00 and I was standing in my aunts living room staring out the window at the rain passing through the light of the street lamps. I love looking at the rain.  I then noticed a spherical shape in the sky.It was pretty small and I can only assume it was very high.  It looked like a miniature unar eclipse.It was dark in the middle and had a faint light all around the edge.  It then started to drop toward me, getting bigger in size as it got closer and closer. The size grew dramatically starting from a tennisball size to about 50 ft in diameter.It looked like it was going to hit the house!  At that time I jumped from behind the couch where i was standing and screamed for my parents!  I think it was my mom that came to get me and told her what i had seen.  She obviously did'nt believe me.  I later went back to the window and as quick as the UFO appeared,it had disappeared.  I do remember that it was dark grey in colour as it got closer and looked like it was also spinning.
About 5 years later I was watching the news(Netwerk) on TV with my dad and there were reports of UFO sightings in another area of the country. There were also a few photographs on the screen.And the picture was 3 ball shaped objects that looked EXACTLY like the one I had seen!  I told my dad that what I had seen ewas true, but he just shrugged his shoulder and left it at that.... I  KNOW what I saw was real and not my imagination!
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.  PD
