I considered for quite some time whether to share this incident with Oranghongkong.com readers since I was also not sure what object I was seeing. However, what is certain is that I have never seen it before, and until now I have never seen such an object again. I didn't tell my parents about this incident until I was an adult. To this day, my memory is still very clear about this.
Loved astronomy since elementary school in Yuen Long
As a child, I loved astronomy until I asked my father to buy me binoculars when I was in elementary school, and when I was in Secondary (SMY) 1st grade in Hong Kong, I joined the astronomy lovers group at school. Often at night, I use star maps and binoculars to trace the paths of planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and others, but I never see anything strange when I look at the sky with binoculars.

The habit of opening the curtains of the room to look at the sky after urinating in the middle of the night
Since I love astronomy, I have a habit of always opening the window curtains of my room to look up at the sky to see the stars. At that time, the front of the house faced several football fields whose field lights were turned off after midnight. The back of the ball field is the village, and the back of the village is the mountain, so after midnight it is easy to see a lot of stars if the weather is clear.
One night, as usual after going to the restroom, I opened the window curtain of the room, and then I saw a round object with a bright white light; it was estimated to be flying at a height of about 20 floors of the building. The object was about the size of 1 football field and slowly flew from the left side to the right and then disappeared. After I saw this thing, I was very frightened and immediately climbed into bed, covered the blanket from head to foot and then fell asleep.
After waking up, I didn't dare to tell my parents, but I always remember clearly what I saw until now. When I was an adult, I told my parents about it, and they were surprised and asked why I didn't tell them at that time.

A photo of the front of my old house in Yuen Long, and I used software to describe the position and roughly what the mysterious object I saw at that time looked like. (90% similar to what I saw at the time.)
Some friends think it's a UFO
As an adult, I also told my friends in Hong Kong about it, and some of them believed it was a UFO. Actually, UFO means "Unknown flying object"; it could be a secret weapon from a country, or, for those who believe in the existence of extraterrestrials, this is a means of transportation from space. Some even believe this is an object from the spirit realm. I can't say to this day what it is, but for sure, it is a unique memory for me.
