Full Description & Details

It was a clear, sunny mid-winter day. I went to the backyard to visit with my cat. After I had reclined for awhile, my cat jumped up onto my chest. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, then my cat crept up closer to my face. I opened my eyes to put him back on the ground, and looked up to see a round, black object simply STUCK in the air. It was such an amazing sight, it didn't register for a few seconds. I couldn't understand how this object was simply stationary in the sky.

I watched the object for awhile, looking to see if it was going to move. It didn't. It simply stayed there, but periodically either gently 'rolled' a little bit to reveal a red area or else flashed a red light randomly.

At that moment, I ran to get a camera, but not being familiar with a digital, was not able to get a picture. I think the memory card or whatever it is was full. I did manage to take one pic, but not sure if the object was in the viewfinder, and when I tried to download it to my computer, it wouldn't accept it. I still have the pic, but can not see the object in the display pic on the back. Either the pic is too small, or I didn't get it.

The object hovered in the air for a couple more minutes, then -- gone. Just like that.

An incredible experience.

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

There is no way this could be a balloon, bird, planet, plane, helicopter, blimp, paper, leaves or anything else natural or man-made. It was simply STUCK in the air. No moving parts or sound at all. It would not move until suddenly it was just gone.

Witness Background

Currently work in construction. Have worked in office environment for many years. Some college.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Have also know UFOs existed, but it's now a different kind of 'knowing'. I have actually seen it for myself.

Other Comments

Why does the government deny the existence of these things? What possible reason could they have?
