Initial data
My family of five, including me, has just left the house to get into our family car. I recall that the approximate time was between 18:30 and 19:00 on Sunday evening. I remember this time because it was the usual time when our family went to church services every Sunday evening. I remember just having an early spring shower because my dad drove the car up to the house, which made it more accessible to us due to the ongoing drizzle.
We were all moving towards the car when one of us (I don't remember which one) pointed and said:
"What is this thing anyway?"
I remember looking up in a north-westerly direction and seeing a strange oval-shaped object rolling from side to side, passing directly overhead. I remember how this object pulsates and vibrates with different colors. I would only guess about it. the point is now, but I would estimate its height to be less than 300 feet (90 m) above the ground. I do remember my dad saying it looked like he might land nearby.
I don't remember hearing any sound coming from the object, but my brother and sister say it was like a buzzing sound that an electric transformer makes on a power line.
I don't recall any of us being scared, but the more curious and surprised would best describe our reaction. We didn't tell anyone about it, but I remember that the newspaper of our hometown was full of reports of sightings the next day.

Full Description & Details
"My family of five, including myself, had just stepped outside our home to enter our family car. I recall the aproximate time of being just between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on a Sunday evening.
