Full Description & Details

I was living in some apartments at the time. I was outside on a warm summer evening having a cigarette with the neighbor. We were chatting casually near a pool that was surrounded by bright sconces and also lit up by a submerged pool light. Suddenly he stopped mid-sentence and looked up into the sky and said, "What the hell is that?"

I looked up and saw a spherical object moving slowly, but steadily south. It was completely black and was only able to see it because it was extremly shiny and reflected the light from the pool area back at us. At first, I thought it was a black balloon, but a balloon would have bobbed to and fro. Plus there wasn't any breeze to note that night and this object was moving fast enough that it had to have its own form of locomotion. Also, it was bigger than a balloon and moved in a completely steady and intentional manner.

My neighbor and I stood there watching it in completely silence as it passed overhead. It didn't make a sound. As it passed us and was moving away, it seemed as though it accelerated gradually--just enough so that from our perspective it maintained a constant visual velocity across the sky.

After it passed out of sight, my neighbor and I agreed on what we saw and we both saw the same thing. Neither of us had seen anything like that we couldn't explain.

Please feel free to contact me about more information regarding this sighting. I didn't report it earlier due to not knowing about sites like this and thinking that it wasn't significant. Was mentioning it to someone the other day and they urged me to report it to a place like this.

I felt a drawing wasn't necessary, since all we saw was a shiny, reflective, black sphere. Pretty easy to imagine, but probably tough to draw ;)
