Metallic Sphere Scans My Entire Body

I was awakened by a metallic sphere the size of a small beach ball. The sphere was hovering a few feet above my lower legs. Suddenly, the sphere, which appeared to be seemless, opened to reveal a camera lens about 2" in diameter. I automatically moved my arms slightly away from my torso,as well as moving my legs slightly apart, so that none of my body parts were overlaying or touching any other part. I laid very still with my eyes open, while the sphere scanned my entire body.I cooperated automatically, and I did not feel frightened at all. It moved from my feet upwards to my head, slowly photographing/imaging every inch of me. It then settled back above my lower legs, closed it's lens, which left the sphere seemless, once again. It departed through the window,which was open,but there was a screen there. I immediately got up to brush my teeth due to a severe metallic-sulpher taste in my mouth. I called out to my father, who is a painter, and always works late into the night. When I went to find out why he did not answer me, I noticed that he was sleeping on the couch! Yet, at the time of the scanning I could hear him taping his paint brushes against the water can, he uses to rinse his brushes. I awakened him, only to find that he was not sleeping, but almost in a paralyzed state. After several minutes, he sat up and I told him what had just happened to me. He reported to me that he was painting when he suddenly experienced the most excrutiating headache he had ever had, and had to lay down on the couch.

NUFORC Note:

We will attempt to have the father submit a report, as well. PD
