Metallic sphere shoots across sky in morning. (Bristol, UK)
RE-POST: i am terribly sorry, the date is correct here, my computer calendar said June for some reason. i have edited the date appropriately, sorry about that.
I got up in the early hours of the morning for a cigarette, and it was a clear sky, with a large cloud to the west. I was standing on the door step, and something caught my eye shooting past. I thought it was a bird flying low across the houses, and then maybe 3 or 4 seconds later i noticed a reflection in the sky, something going up into the atmosphere. I can still picture it exactly in my mind, and it seemed to shoot up and across the sky.
The object i seen was definitely not an airplane or anything man-made, it had a circular/spherical form. and was only properly visible while the sun was reflecting off it. There were no chem-trails for the duration of the sighting (which rules out a jet, or fighter plane), although as it went "up" into the atmosphere, it left a blurring trail behind it which lasted for a couple of seconds, then disappearing from sight.
The glow it gave off, maybe lights, or reflection from the sun gives me the solid impression it was metallic. I cannot think of anything man-made of which fly/moves/appears in this way.
The path it took across the sky, was a straight line... at a very high speed. As it almost went behind the houses in the distance, it shot up, in an arching motion into the atmosphere.
I cannot really tell what color it was, but i can say it was definitely metallic, and after browsing you-tube for similar footage to explain to my friend what i had seen. He mentioned seeing a similar metallic ball shoot across the sky a few weeks back.
I hope this report may help towards any other possible sightings on that day, because i am still confused as to what i saw. On, a biased view, it could easily have been said that this ball/sphere was a probe/satellite of some kind.
But as for skepticism i cannot find any other kind of object that matches the description of a man-made aircraft.
