2007-02-28 - Sanford, FL - Sphere

Silver sphere to the right of a cloud seen midday morning in area of Sanford Florida Feb 28, 2007.

My daughter and I were enroute to a shopping mall midday February 28, 2007. As I looked up in the sky I saw a silver looking object which could have been mistaken as a giant beach ball. It was almost certainly the color that would blend with the sky but distinct enough that you know that it was not "part of the sky". It was a very clear day and somewhat average temperature. It appeared to be partially hid behind a cloud. At the top of the sphere was an illumination of some kind that was almost white in color. It appeared to be a reflection of the sun. As quickly as I could ask my daughter if she saw it and then turned back to look at it again - it was gone. She was driving and I was in the passenger seat. I have never been so surprised in my life. My daughter thought it was a weather balloon. However; I do not think that it was a weather balloon at all. Thanks for allowing this to be entered.
