Spherical object hovers 20 feet above road

I observed a spherical object hovering 20 feet above the road and drove directly under the object(no sound). I viewed the object while driving about 40 mph and viewed it for about 10 seconds from first sighting it, to passing under it. The object had no lights and was the size of a basketball. Curiously the street lights had been out. The object was not difficult to see since my headlights illuminated the area. The object (metallic) had a raised band around the middle and 3/4 of the way up it had what appeared to be a round port or eye. The object was positioned right near a power line that stretched perpendicular to the road which was two lanes. This object seemed like some type of probe. This was kind of bone chilling when you see something that close! It is my opinion that an invasion is taking place. I have seen too many this past year, and continue to hear and read of many reports around the world.

Coincidently, Florida, or at least my area, experiences a high number of power outages. One occurred in the State which made the news shortly after my sighting. It was reported as of unknown cause and was being investigated. My background is as follows. Served in the U.S. Air Force and hold an Aircraft Mechanic Certification.

I have had many sightings occur since 1991. I made a report here once before from that year in Colorado. I see UFO’s at least once every two months.

My brother had a sighting shortly before I had mine. He is in Colorado and also served in the Air Force and made a report here. Thank you.
