Large orange circle appearing and moving across the sky at high rate of speed
I was sitting on the back stairs talking on the phone, when I saw a bright flash of light. I looked up, and saw a bright, yellow/orange ball of light in the sky that had not been there previously. As I sat and watched this, it started going in a slow circle, then flew off at a speed no aircraft could match.
I was the only witness as far as I know. There was no sound made by the object, the color remained solid and unchanging. It was large in size, bigger then a plane, if I had to guess is say it was several hundred yards in diameter.
I was not intoxicated or under the influence of any substance. I am familiar with meteors, couple space craft and aircraft, this was 100% none of those.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded quite sober-minded to us. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD))
