at ten years of age we looked at each other and said "that was no weather balloon !

round object decended slowly about 1 mile away.appeared to be the size of a nickle held at arms reach. stopped about twice height of tree level.we thought it was a weather balloon.after staying still for ten or so seconds,it split in two halves,up and down.we could now see that it was coin shaped.flat front and back with a slim thickness.each side went left & right (north & south)straight sideways,stopped,3 or 4 diameters out, went 90 degrees straight down to earth ,out of sight. ten or so seconds later, each side came up (in unision) exact path as before.stopped at 90 degrees, moved straight together (now one unit).stayed in place several seconds,headed to the west at very rapid rate of speed.
