metallic sphere sitting upon surface of lake erie. silent and shimmering rotating appearance
While fishing on shore of Lake Erie around first light before sun-up, I noticed an egg or bullet-shaped object upon the surface of the water approximately 300 yards away down the shoreline and sitting or floating stationary about 20 yards from shore in shallow water (3 to 5 feet sand/clay/rocky bottom) It was a metallic-shimmering dome shape which did not move laterally at all but almost appeared to be rotating without any sound or splashing. Very hard to focus on it because of "shimmering surface" and low light conditions. (looking west down shoreline) I stared at it non stop for about 10 minutes while casting into lake and of course, I hooked a fish. After landing fish I looked up to find it GONE. No sound no nothing. I returned multiple times to same area, time, light conditions, never to see anything like it again. It reminded me of a surfacing submarine at first thought,but water much too shallow. I estimate its size to be approximately 10 feet high with a conical shaped top, about 8 feet in diameter with its bottom un seen or flat.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. We will request that the witness attempt to determine the precise date. PD))
