Reported: 2004-05-03 16:23 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Battleground, WA, USA

Shape: Sphere


There was a shiny silver spherical object in the sky that made a rolling turn and disappeared.

I was driving south on I-5 going towards Vancouver, Washington. I was about 2 mlles north of the rest area located at mile post 13 on I-5. Above the trees I could see a shiny, round object. I thought it was a plane with light reflecting off the fuselage, making the shape hard to ascertain. (I was more aware of this because when I was passing the Woodland airfield, a small plane had just taken off, but the bright sunshine reflecting off the plane was making it hard to see).

As i got closer to the object, the appearance became more spherelike. It reminded me of a shiny beach ball (note: at about 2 mles out, it looked to be the size of a large beach ball) with a band around the middle. When I was about a half mile from the object, it made a rolling turn and disappeared. I thought perhaps it had somehow become blocked from view by the trees, but when I drove past the trees, there was nothing to be seen. The sky was empty as far as my eyes could see and the object was just plain gone.

I do not know how many other people saw the object, but if anyone did, they did not pull off the road nor did they give any indication that they had seen the object.
