I am a astronomy major at Villanova University. I was getting my oil changed in West Chester, PA. On the return drive back to VillanovaOn Rt. 202 North I noticed a bight object flying across the sky, It flew slowly accros my field of view, which was to the South, southeast, forapproximately 7-10secs. The object then took off at a tremendous speed toward the south. I continued looking for the object but I did not seeit anymore. The object was metallic in nature and it had a high reflectance, much like a mirror. The was a descernable size to the object whichwas approx. 0.25 degrees across and half that in height. It look to be a spherical object though slightly elongated. The date was 5/5/97 and I noted thetime as 12:15pm by my car's radio clock. I was between around 5-6 miles away from W. Chester when the event occured.
