Large bright sphere seen above Hedgesville forest near Morgan County.

First seen while on Rt 9, driving in direction of Berkeley Springs. First observed large white sphere as I passed Tomahawk Rd. Turned onto Butts Mill Rd and I finally got away from the trees. I heard no sound or saw any flashing lights. I watched it move over trees, moving back and forth, up and down. When it hovered it became brighter. I immediately called my daughter to explain situation and told her to expect a text within 10 min that I was OK. I saw the object the entire way home.

When I got home, which is a rural area, I watched it go down low in the distance. It became quite bright. I stood in my yard a few minutes. No noise. I watched it for maybe a minute and then it just disappeared. Some neighborhood dogs were barkinv and howling. When I went in my home my dog was shaking. She has large ears. Perhaps she heard something I could not.

I looked for the object 30 min later. It was still gone. I have not seen it since that day.
