The translucent blue round sphere moved from horizon to horizon in 1 to 2 seconds with NO sound!
First of all, I've been a police officer here in Jacksonville, Fl. for 33 yrs. and am NOT a "nut".
I was working an off-duty job with another officer (((name deleted)), now retired) at a Putt Putt mini-golf and games business, ((address deleted)) Blvd. in Jacksonville. The business hired off-duty officers for security and our job was mainly to keep people from "hanging out" in the parking lot.
I am not sure of the date, nor the time but, as he and I were standing outside in the lighted parking lot, we BOTH saw a translucent blue, round sphere streak across the sky from the southwest to the northeast and just below cloud level. The clouds were not rain clouds or storm clouds but, we did have a low ceiling. There was absolutely NO sound emitted from this object and from horizon to horizon only took it 1 to 2 seconds to travel. When it went over us, the already lighted parking lot lit up "blue" from the blueish color of it. As for size, I can only say it wasn't a small "orb" you sometimes talk about. However, it was moving so fast, I really couldn't tell how big it was other than to say it was large enough to cast a blue hue over everything below it and it was large enough to see clearly. I looked at my partner and asked if he saw what I saw and he said "Yes, but I'm not saying a thing.....they'll think we're both nuts".
I'm telling you, this had to be something not from this world!
