No of observers: 1

Location: Reno, NV, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

A small white sphere which stopped, hovered for 5 minutes, then took off and disapeared.

I was walking my dog just before the sighting and looked at my watch and it was either 1:35 or 2:35 pm. He distracted me and forgot to check again. I was looking almost straight up while watching a white jet lay a "chemtrail" going from north to south. It passed overhead and slightly behind it I noticed movement. I saw a small white sphere at high altitude going about half the speed of the jet. It was travelling east to west. It moved much like a satelite looks at night. When it was almost staight overhead it seemed to slow down. It came to a dead stop almost directly overhead and stayed there about 5-10 minutes. I ran into my apartment and grabbed a cheap disposable camera and took a picture. Then I ran back in and grabbed my binoculars. The sphere was still overhead and I tried once to spot it thru the binoculars but failed. I found it again but before I could bring them up to my eyes the sphere started moving west again. It picked up speed for a short way then blinked in and out of my vision about three times and disapeared. It was a clear blue sky where it was located and I was looking north. It stopped shortly after crossing the north to south chemtrail and seemed to be at a much higher altitude. Size: if I held my hand out at arms length it would be about1/3-1/2 the with of my fingernail.
