This is not an adult reflecting on UFO culture. This is the memory of a six year old boy in a small town in eastern Turkey in the 1970s, who had no word for what he saw.

He was alone in a large mud-brick walled garden on an ordinary afternoon. Then something moved above him. Maybe two meters above his head, moving slowly and silently sideways. No sound. Nothing.

The object was elongated, roughly cylindrical, long and slender, dark almost black. Its surface was covered in pipes and conduits that curved and wrapped around it fluidly, fully sealed, no openings, no lights.

I had watched it for about ten seconds, feeling no fear, only curiosity and peace. Then it drifted beyond the garden wall and was gone.

I had no word for what it was. I was just a child watching a silent dark machine float over my head and disappear.

For oncoming decades I had recurring dreams of UFOs watching me from beyond the clouds.

The image attached vaguely resembles what I saw, not exact, but to give some idea.
