This happened when I was around 9 or 10 years old. My friend Chris was with me. I remember it being warm and sunny, so I believe it took place in late spring or early summer. We were sitting on the wall in front of our elementary school. Suddenly we both observed a dark colored square box moving slowly across the sky in a westerly direction. It appeared to be rotating or tumbling as it moved.
At first we thought it might have been a corrugated cardboard box but it was flying way up high in the air, and there was little to no wind to carry it. I don't remember it being windy enough for a kite, but who knows what the air currents were doing that day. We ran across the street across a few backyards to follow it and lost sight of it over some trees.
The next year at around the same time, we both observed the same thing again– a dark colored box rotating slowly across the sky, only this time, we were in front of my house sitting on the front steps. Again we took off following it but it disappeared like it had before.
