Full Description & Details

I was practicing the piano preparing for a competition in my corner apartment in the New Center area of Detroit. It was a bright, sunny day in February. Against a background of large, cumulous-type clouds, I saw out my window a fairly large, silver-colored spherical object hovering in mid-air. It was a good distance away-a few miles perhaps and at a considerable altitude. It shot from the left end of the cloud it was in front of to the far right end of the cloud in less than a second. It then stopped, shot downward, hovered again for a second, repeated the move in the opposite direction leftward to the end of the cloud, stopped still and then shot nearly straight up to the point where it had started. It had inscribed something like a parallelogram in these motions and then disappeared. The entire episode lasted around thirty seconds.

I grew up studying aviation and watching planes traversing the sky and have never seen any aircraft that could duplicate near-instanteous stopping and starting at incredible speeds in multiple directions.
