Occurred: 2003-01-04 13:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2005-11-15 17:46 Pacific
Duration: 4 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Cashiers, NC, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

I was outside in the snow one afternoon when the snow clouds subsided for a moment, and I noticed a sliver of orange behind a rogue cloud when the object emerged at a speed slightly faster than the fast moving clouds.

The object appeared to be a orange luminous sphere behind a clear blue sky, as quickly as it emerged it was blocked again by another cloud, although the sighting lasted only seconds,

I still can't fully explain what I saw, other than some kind of atmospheric phenomenom.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
