In the evening of August 25?/65, I was eleven, my brother, thirteen, and our next door neighbour also thirteen, were assigned to take our dogs out for a walk. I know it was a Sunday evening as the rest of our family were inside watching Ed Sullivan at the time and mom wanted us to get in the habit of coming in early as school was starting soon. In the duration of playing I noticed a funny orange star right beside the full moon. When I looked up again there appeared to be two moons except one was very blood orange in colour. When I caught my brother's attention to look at the other moon this object (within fractions of a second) was hovering over us the size two foot ball feilds. The ground and everything was illuminating an orange colour. My brother said quick go get mom, and within a fraction of a second it vanished.
