A 33-year-old housewife with her 8-and 10-year-old children watched a silver Frisbee from her porch in this urban residential area 3 miles North of downtown. 

Standing in the open air, looking up at the clear sky, they saw a saucer in the Southeast, much larger than the full moon might appear (at night), and the approximate real size is equal to a car. The Frisbee had a sharp outline and a metallic appearance. Because of the traffic noise, there was no sound. 

According to the children, two seconds later it moved to the southwest and instantly disappeared from view. The time of observation 5-8 min.
