We had a UFO sighting last night at 8pm above our home in Pacifica, CA. This is a drawing of the image, focused through our telescope. The sphere was very small to the naked eye and appeared to be still, at first. We thought it was a planet and nothing special. But the sun was still up and it was still daylight for another hour. I wondered what planet it was, as it was almost directly overhead.

I took out the telescope and when focused, discovered it was moving very slowly. It took about a minute to move across the lens frame. I kept moving the telescope to keep it in sight. It travelled very slowly in a southern path along the pacific coast. It had to be at a very high orbit to move that slowly. We watched it until dark, when it disappeared by getting smaller, presumably by gaining altitude. The lights were not visible to the naked eye, because the object was too high. The focused image in our small telescope appeared with the distinguished bright lights in an arc along the top, and dim along the bottom. The image in the center changed form, but generally resembled a T. The base of the T pointed in different directions, from straight down to about 4 o'clock. The lights did not move at all, the sphere did not appear to rotate. It was a perfect sphere shape, there were more details on the surface that were changing or indistinguishable, not drawn here. I wish we had a camera telescope. This was truly the most amazing thing we have seen.
