Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was of spherical shape. It was white but the outer rim had the same orange color as the surrounding clouds. The texture can be described as fuzzy. It did not seem to emit any light.

Size of Object(s)

It appeared to be three to five meters in diameter in actuality. Relatively, streching out my arm and looking at it, it would have barely covered a fingernail.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The sighting occurred in a city park surrounded by low structures. A public festival was taking place. I was standing at 52°22'22.49"N 4°37'38.74"E. The object appeared in the West relative to my position, moving from the South to the North.

Full Description & Details

At the anual "BevrijdingsPop" festival that celebrates the Dutch liberation after WW2 I spotted a spherical object passing under the low-hanging cloud deck. The sun was setting and the clouds as well as the object I saw passing under it reflected the orange light. The object did hold a whiter center to it. Later that evening it started raining softly but no thunder or lighting occured. The object appeared to move out from a cloud, it then flew for what seemed like a hundred meters in a straight line until it once again entered a cloud. It did not seem to change altitude.

I told the people I know around me about my sighting but they hadn't seen it. I also didn't notice anyone outside of my group commenting on what I saw.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

The cloud-deck was so low that I believe I could have made out the object if it were a bird or a plane. I think a balloon could not have traveled at the speed I perceived it to move.

Witness Background

I am a male. My vocation is computer programming with a specific interest in computer games and evolutionary programming.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

This was my first UFO sighting but I had read and seen a great deal about UFO's. My interest stems from a broad interest in space related topics. My view did not change after the sighting. I do believe that my prior knowledge about the phenomenon allowed me to identify the UFO as such.
