Appearance / Description of Object(s)

perfectly round like a sphere glowing very bright white, moving very unusually

Size of Object(s)

I have no clue about the distance of the sphere only that it looked about the same size as the comet even though they were probably not at the same distance, it was far away.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

no idea, but not close

Description of Area / Surroundings

very old airbase a few km away, i believe it was shut down at the time seeing as i can't remember it ever being in function. Suburban style area houses and 2-4 story buildings about 1-2 km from farmlands. There is a powerplant near copenhagen approximately 20-25km away.

Full Description & Details

i was in my early teens, my mother and i were visiting a friend during the time of haley's comet being visible on the night sky.

I remember going outside to see haley's comet during a cool clear night, saw the comet on the sky on my left side. I saw planes going by (as usual) and for some unknown reason i looked away from the comet to the right, and saw this perfect sphere in the sky glowing bright white.

It was completely still in the sky for about 10 mins or so (not really sure exactly how long), then i made quick up and down zigzag patterns, stopped completely a few seconds, then did some more very quick up and down zig zagging and stopped completely again.

My mother joined me to see the comet and i remember saying "Mom look over there"(pointed it out to her), she looked and saw it too. about a minute or so later it took off faster than anything i've ever seen before or since. Haley's comet was still very clearly visible on the left part of the night sky.

Ever since we've tried finding every logical (and illogical) explaination to what this was but nothing fits what we saw.

I have no clue about the distance of the sphere only that it looked about the same size as the comet even though they were probably not at the same distance, it was far away.

I do not know of any planes, helicopters or for that matter weather balloons that can move like it did.

I've never seen anything like it before or since and the comet was visible for days.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

we tried explaining it with all kind of science, the moon was on the other side of haley's comet, so the moon isn't a viable explanation, weather balloons, planes, helicopters, satellites, blimps and other known items in the sky does not move that sudden, that strangely nor that fast. Clear night no clouds at all. Stars and planets look much smaller on the nightsky, so not that either. Even the powerplants wouldn't be able to reproduce it. Tried explaining it with chemical and atmospheric reactions, just doesn't fit.

just an ordinary girl with a huge interest in science and history

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before: I thought there's no solid proof of real UFOs, though it would be unlikely we're alone in the universe, if any species would be advanced enough for the necessary speed and knowledge required to go across galaxies why would they come here. After: i always look for human and scientific explainations to any reported sighting i've come across. There are many hoax reports of sightings, and i still try to find an explaination to what i saw back then. Still find it unlikely that we would be alone in the universe and still don't see what would make a visit here so interesting except for other species doing what humans do (explore and research)

Other Comments

I have nothing to gain from telling this. I only tell this because I have not in 14 years or more been able to find any viable explaination for what we saw.
