Full Description & Details

During the summer of 2000 I was on a business trip to the US (I’m from Ireland). I was in the office as usual and decided to head out for smoke break around 11:00am. I was outside in the car park for about 3-4 minutes and was admiring the clear blue California sky. When I looked up I noticed a metal sphere, about the size of a soccer ball. It was perfectly smooth like a big ball bearing, moving overhead.

When I first saw it, it was about 30ft in the air and not more that 10-15 ft distance. (Almost directly over me). There was no sound, and no apparent markings of any kind.

It moved pretty slowly, its hard to estimate but approx 15-20mph, so I had a good look at it before it moved out of sight.

It maintained its height and speed until finally moving out of viewing distance.

At the height it was at, it was lower than the surrounding buildings, although it did not maneuver a way through them, its course took it in a directly line through them and out over the car park and out of sight.

Upon seeing the object my reaction was not at all what I would have expected. I simply shrugged my shoulders, finished my cigarette and went back inside. Within 10 minutes I began to realize that what I had seen was not something completely normal, and I couldn’t quite match it to anything I had heard about or seen before.

I know for fact that what I did see was not a bird or a plane or anything else that I could have mistaken. It was very close to me, moved in a straight line, at a steady speed, and was shiny and metallic.
