Sighting a UFO in Sydney, Australia during the 80s:

I was playing with my friend Lucas when I spotted a silver disc floating in the air. It was shaped like the classic, stereotypical image of a UFO that we often think of today. At that time, as kids, we had no clue as to what it could be.

It was 2x the size of the moon and remained stationary. Despite being too young to understand what a UFO was, I remember the experience vividly. The UFO I saw as a child had no lights, no aliens, no noise, and no incredible speeds. It was not the kind of exciting event that would thrill a child.

We informed Lucas' mother, who then rang up his uncle, who was a pilot. However, he was unable to identify the object. At the time, the experience was not particularly exciting for me as I didn't have a concept of what a UFO was, and so we simply continued playing.

Later, when we looked up again, the object had vanished. I'm afraid that's it!
