Initial data
We were outside the house of friends in suburban Dallas (Texas). It was a warm summer night clear of the sky no clouds nor wind. I was in the suburb of Oak Cliff Dallas Texas 3rd House down from 1723 Michigan Street on the north side of the block, standing on the street facing north when I had a strange feeling of my hands as static electricity. I looked southwest and noticed a large disk-shaped object of gray.
It looked as if it was all one piece, not glued together with a smooth flowing surface, it was very large, as it stretched from my friends' house to the large oak of a neighbor's house, which had a small wasteland, and then a large two-story house on a large plot, with a very large oak tree, at least 3 floors high.
The object was much larger than the Goodyear airship, which usually flew at the Cotton Bowl football stadium in the city. He seemed to overshadow the house as he expanded up to city street in another block behind my friends.
I watched and asked myself if it was real. I said to my friend, "Do you see this?"
Me and my friend were excited, I asked my friend to go after his brother, because no one would believe us, and I thought to myself that if I hadn't looked that way, I wouldn't even know he was there!
I was waiting outside, watching the ship. I was amazed that the ship apparently had engines (perhaps 15). It looked like jet engines with yellow and bluish-green flames emitting about 15-20 feet (4.5-6 m) down.
I was trying to rationalize this as I watched the planes with my sister's husband who was in the Air Force.
It certainly wasn't a helicopter as it was soundless, was so quiet (terribly quiet).
My friend's brother, who was 18 at the time, his older brother and a friend of mine went outside, and I asked his older brother if he saw it.
He didn't notice it at first, I asked him again in a more agitated tone. My friends' brother seemed to be in shock as he kept his mouth half open in the most unusual way as he behaved as if he did not want to admit that the object was right there, but he really saw it and he was amazed.
He stood there for a minute, then went back to the house, me and a friend stayed there, watching the gray metal object, which seemed to have nothing like most planes.
It wasn't the balloon or helicopter that we saw, then the engines stopped and it started moving slowly in a southwesterly direction and then immediately disappeared, that moment in time.
This is nothing but true, and now that I have retired from public service, I have to tell these facts.
I served in the U.S. Navy and worked with airplanes, and I've never seen another aircraft of any type do what this disk-shaped object did, and I really wanted to see another one, it was amazing.

Summary: outside of friends house in the suburbs of Dallas TX warm summer night clear sky no clouds no wind I was in the suburb of oak cliff Dallas TX 3rd house down from 1723 Michigan street on the north side of the block standing in the street facing north, when I had a strange feeling of my arms like static electricity looked south west and observed a large disk shaped object grey in color and looked like it was all one piece not riveted together with a smooth flowing surface , it was very large as stretched from my friends house over to the large oak tree of the neighbors house that had a small vacant lot then a large 2 story house on the big lot, with a very large oak tree, at least 3 story’s tall this was way bigger than the Goodyear blimp that use to fly at the cotton bowl football stadium the city it seemed to dwarf the houses as it expanded to the city street on the other block behind my friends house.as I watched I asked myself is this real i said to my friend are you seeing this, his reply in total amazement yes i see it. I and friend was excited,I asked my friend to go get his brother as no one would believe us, and I thought to myself if I had not looked that direction i would not of known it was even there! I waited outside starring and observing the craft, I was amazed that the craft had apparently had engines maybe 15 as it looked like jet engines in full after burn with yellow and blueish green flame emitting approx 15 to 20 feet down, and trying to rationalize this as I had observed aircraft from the sac basses I had visited with my sisters husband who was in the air force, many times earlier in life, this was no helicopter and how could this be with no sound, no sound what so ever, and was so silent eerie silent, but for air displacement no smell I told my friend to go get his older brother, who was 18 at the time, his big brother and my friend came out to the street, and I asked the older brother, do you see it, as my friends brother did not notice it at first, I asked him again in a more excited tone do you see what I and your brother are looking at! My friends brother seemed to be in shock as he held his mouth partially open in a most unusual way, as he was acting like he did not want to acknowledge that the object was right there, but he did see it and he was startled. he stayed there a minute then returned to the house, I and the younger brother stayed there observing the grey metallic object that seemed to have no ridges or cornering as most aircraft are built, not a balloon or helicopter that we have seen, then the engines quit and it began moving off slowly in a south western direction then disappeared immediately, this moment in time Is nothing but the truth, and now that I am retired from gov service I am compelled to tell these facts, I have served in the US navy and worked with aircraft and I have never seen another aircraft of any type do what this disk shaped behemoth did, and i do wish i could see another it was amazing.
