August 1966 Sighting, hovered so low and so slow we thought it was going to land..

Me and a friend were driving home after work; I pulled into my girlfriend’s drive (now my wife) and let my friend out. He lived next door to her. I walked around to her back door and noticed no lights were on so figured her and her family was asleep. I started walking down the driveway to my car and heard a humming noise, got in turned off the radio, still hearing this noise so I turned off the engine, started looking around and looked up, it was right above me, tree top level. At this same time my friend came running around the front yelling, “did you see that”? He stated he was walking into the back of his house and saw this bright,bright light shining so he had came back around watching it. I was so thankful that someone else had seen this. In 1966 there were no cell phones with cameras at hand. We drove to my house and woke my parents up to tell them about what we both had just seen. We decided we would try and find it again by driving in the same direction we had last seen it heading but we were never able to find it.
We’re both 70 plus years old now and continue our interest in this phenomenon. My friend is a retired Army veteran and lives in Pennsylvania. Due to my wife’s insistence that we report this before something happens to all the parties involved is why I am finally wanting to make a report of this sighting. My Army friend also wishes to report it and has stated he too can be contacted in Pennsylvania.
