Unexplainable shinny chrome globe following me near Temecula
I was land surveying a vacant lot in the hills behind Temecula California. Halfway through the survey I noticed a small shinny chrome colored globe about 18" across floating about 10' off the ground in the canyon. I at first figured it was a helium balloon. I kept working, but the globe wasn't blowing away in the breeze, and seemed always to be floating within site. I kept looking at it thinking I would see seams or some resemblance of a balloon or manufacturing, but the globe looked seamless. It stayed a distance of about 200' from me as I moved along the property finishing my survey of the lot. Before I packed up my gear I decided to go have a closer look because I was getting the creeps from this thing.
The globe rised up about 3-400' off the ground when I walked towards it, then floated off to the West away from me until it was out of sight.
I never got the close look I hoped for to ease my mind, but as I drove home I thought about it all day. A helium balloon can be round and chrome colored, but only from two angles (front and back). If the object was a balloon, it would have had seams and/or the fill spout off the bottom. The fact that it didn't appear to have a fill spout and always seemed perfectly round the whole sighting time just didn't allow me to accept it as a balloon. The fact that it flew off to the West towards Temecula also didn't make sense since the breeze was blowing in the opposite direction.
I reported the event to my office workers when I returned back to my Nevada office but everyone just blew it off.
This event has haunted me for 20 years, and I still can't explain the event no matter how much I think about it.
I didn't see it until I started transmitting for RTK gps surveying, it didn't leave until my equipment was powered down. It was just too strange and unexplainable.
