Bright spherical object seen hovering above hills of Angels Camp

On Wednesday night, my wife hollered at me to come outside and see what it was she was looking at.

I stepped out and immediately knew where to look. I had been spotting bizarre lights in this area for months, and knew she was looking to the West.

Sure enough, this extremely bright ball of light was sitting in the sky. It looked to be just above the hills between where we live and the town next to us, Copperopolis.

I truly wanted to dismiss this thing as a star, but it was simply too bright. I have never seen stars that bright.

I went back inside, grabbed my Sony video camcorder and taped this object for maybe 5 minutes. It didn't do much at all, just hovering. I grew tired of it and went back inside.

I came back minutes later to retrieve firewood and the object has vanished. Looking at the tape later, I had zoomed in on the object and noted that it appeared to have a perfect round shape to it, except the 1/4 bottom half wasn't lit as much as the rest of the ball. And there appeared to be a smaller object just above it. Whether or not this 2nd object was a star, I am not sure.

There certainly seems to be a lot of UFO activity here in the Angels Camp and Sonora area.
