NUFORC Sighting 42748

Occurred: 2005-03-01 22:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2005-03-06 09:14 Pacific
Duration: 2 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Manassas, VA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object

I observed a bright blue soccer ball size object travel at high speed just above the tree tops.

While standing on the back porch of my town home, I observed a bright blue sphere about the size of a soccer ball that I perceived to be about 100 to 200 feet above the ground. It is possible that because of the night sky and the brightness of the object that is bigger and higher than my perception.

I was struck by how perfectly round the object was. It was a self illuminatined ball bright blue in color traveling northwest directly accross the roof of the town home beside me. It was a clear night and I by shear chance I was looking directly at the spot where the object appeared or I might not have seen it at all.

The speed it hard to guess but the object was visible for no more than a second or two and disappeared beyond the houses a few hundred yards away. There was no sound at all.

I was an air traffic controller earlier in my life and have seen lights appear to be many things they were not. The clarity, brightness, and speed of this object is something I have never encounted before.
