need help my ufo sighting in nj.. can any one corroborate

When I was about eight or nine years old I lived in Bound Brook NJ . I believe the date had to be late seventies or early eighties. I remember playing in the back yard by myself and seeing this massive UFO. It was sunny and broad day light. The ufo was shaped like a wide cross, silver in color and had tons of little lights on it and was moving very slowly and stopped above my house. I ran inside to try to find my Polaroid instant camera but of coarse i couldn’t find it. I ran back outside and it was still there... slowly moving away. I told my whole family and all of the neighbors about it when it happened. I am not sure if any one believed me. I remember this memory so clearly but what baffles me is that I can find no one else who saw this. It makes me doubt myself. It was broad daylight. I lived in a development in New Jersey with tons of other houses near me and my back yard butted against route 22 which is a very busy highway. I have done some searches and found no one else who saw this. How can this be? Hoping to find someone else who saw this so i know i am not crazy.
finally got my 20 posts so i can tell my story
