Spherical cloud-like object with conical trailing bottom and a some light or brightness about it.

I was just walking down my street on early Thursday(January 17th 2008)between 1:00 and 1:30 am and as I turned the corner heading East I noticed something that appeared like a cloud but strangely concentrated with a part that trailed away from the bottom of it's sort of diffused spherical shape! It was not moving when I first looked at it. It was hovering pretty low for a 'cloud' (as the actual clouds were at a higher altitude) at the corner of my street. It was low enough to feel it could get to me pretty quickly if it needed to! When it actually started moving East the bottom part was trailing in the opposite direction that the object was going and was somewhat conical. The object was white and had a brightness to it like a little light from within but not super bright as I have seen a brighter object in the past, and this object pales in comparison. It was brighter than the actual clouds that it drifted past and appeared to be about the same size as a regular sized (when not too close to earth in it's orbit) full moon in diameter. So I get a few feet away from the corner and as I am still eyeing what I thought at first was a strange looking cloud. I notice this thing has moved with me, it's kept pace with me give or take a few steps, as it really began to appear to be following me fairly closely. I was heading for my local coffee shop to get out and get some fresh air and some decaf and instead I get stalked by some mysterious cloud like object! Well I picked up the pace to confirm that it was following and to see if it could keep up and I can walk very fast, so this was a good test! Sure enough it was keeping up with me up until I get to the tunnel/underpass which I had to turn into to get to my destination. So to see if I could lose the object at this opportune moment of quick cover I picked up the pace a little more to get into the tunnel and into my destination without it seeing where I went to. I get to the other side of the tunnel (approx. 40 feet in length) and look up to see nothing hovering anywhere. It would seem like I had lost the object, as I kept watching and I walked approaching my destination. I took one last look before I entered the drive to the local coffee shop and saw no object. It probably only took me 13 minutes to walk to my destination.

So I am in the coffee shop for about 20 to 30 minutes or so and decide it's time to head back home. While I was in the coffee shop I thought to myself I will walk back home a different way just in case this thing is still hanging around or hiding out somewhere near where I was walking before. So I walk out of the coffee shop and start heading toward the tunnel and there is the object but at a distance not as close as it was before when it followed me. It seemed it was in the part of the sky back near where it started following me near my home but on the opposite side of the highway from where it was originally. It was on the South side of the hIghway when it started following and now it was on the North side but back in the West from where I started walking.

So I walked South in another way to go back home instead of going the quicker way back, the way I came, to see if it would still follow me. For the first little while it did not seem to catch up but then in no time it was right behind me when I was about halfway home taking the side streets in a western direction after I had walked a little ways south. Since it seemed determined to follow me and since it seemed as if it had been waiting for me practically outside my door (thinking it may know exactly where I live, or it will because it's following me home now) I might as well slow down my pace to make sure it follows me home and I don't lose it temporarily again . I decided that because I would like to try and snap a couple of quick pictures of the 'stalker' if I got back intact and inside to get my camera, but to no avail! As I felt a little threatened by it following me home I warned whatever it was that I was protected so don't mess with me. I also had the thought in my mind that as soon as I get to my door I'm going to race inside and get my camera, beca use someone needs to see this! Seconds after this about three quarters of the way home I could no longer see the object, maybe my warning or threat of be caught on camera made it leave or something else did that I could not see!
