11/01/09 Noon(ish) Louin, Ms. 3 or 4 seconds at the most. Brown sphere or disc with 7 evenly-spaced yellow of gold spots.
It was a perfectly clear day, sometime around noon. I was outside working in my front yard when I stood up and movement caught my eye. My first thought was that I was seeing a hawk diving towards its prey, but as I focused on the object, I knew it was nothing of the sort. I can't be absolutely sure if it was a disc or sphere, but if I had to guess I would go with sphere.
It was traveling from the NW to the SE, a few degrees North from directly overhead as it passed over. It was brown, the color of an old penny, with seven evenly-spaced yellow or gold spots. I have described it to others as kind of looking like a soccer ball. Hold a pencil at arm's length looking at the end and that's approximately how big it appeared, maybe 1/4 the size of a full moon. There was no smoke or vapor trail and no sound or sonic boom. When I first caught sight of it, it was about half way between the horizon and overhead and I watched it until it faded into the distance like a high-altitude jet. It traversed over 90 degrees of the sky in just a few seconds, almost as fast as a meteorite.
After it was gone I stood there in my yard for a couple of minutes trying to make sense of what I had just seen, then called my sister to tell her about it. I was still just a tad excited. I reported it to MUFON within a few days and looked to see if there were any other sightings for similar objects on the same day, but came up empty.
