Full Description & Details

Was about 12 years old walking into a basketball gym with my mother when a round shadow cast on the parking lot began flying overhead. I figured it was a basketball and that it would come down but it did not so I looked up. It was a perfectly uniform silver orb moving through the air. It was not moving incredibly fast it seemed, so I got a good look at it. Because of its uniformity I could not discern its distance from me and thus its speed. I watched it for about 30 seconds before it eventually disappeared in the distance. It moved perfectly. My mother saw it too.

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

I guess it is possible but the thing did not seem to have any human purpose and I have never heard of anything like that. Had no man-made flying characteristics on the UFO itself, like boosters or wings or anything. Simply a round object. Seems impossible that it was flying at all.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Did not read a lot but a firm believer before and after of life beyond this planet.
