Hello All,

Today at 3:47 pm there was a white, spherical object hovering
directly over my house. It remained motionless for approximately
45 seconds and then it (very) slowly began to move off in a
South Easterly direction.

I managed to get 5 pictures/photographs using an (old) 35mm SLR
Pentax with a 500mm focal length telephoto lens and remote cable
release. (To minimize shutter and handling vibration) I used 400
ASA Kodak film at f/11. As soon as the photos are developed I'll
post any 'good shots' I may have gotten. I 'think' I got a few
really good ones!

I also made a short 1 minute + long 'video' of the object using
a Sony Handycam Video 8 camera with the digital zoom maxed out
at 24X. The first pic is a single frame capture from the
videotape. The second one is an enlargement of the object that
was captured in the frame.

What you see is what I saw, (with naked eye and with cameras) It
was a luminous white sphere. And fairly large too, (if) it was
as close as it appeared visually. The photographs I took will be
better to use for size and distance determination because I also
captured the 'tines' of a nearby television roof antenna along
with the object. This was no balloon. It was -big- and it was
able to stop and hover motionless.

I have asked before, and I'll ask again. Does anyone have any
idea what these white spheres are? I am a highly skilled
observer, (a couple of folks on this list will attest to that
having spent some time with me skywatching) this thing moved in
an anomalous way, (hovered in one spot and then moving in a slow
straight path away from me) It was -not- a balloon, or a bird,
or an airplane. Believe me, I know the difference. I have seen
and recorded these objects for several years now. To date, no
one can tell me 'what' they are.

Bruce? Anybody? Have you seen pix or video of these white
spheres before? It's the same stuff that Tommy King shoots in
Arizona, others record over Mexico and many other countries
around the world. My shots of these objects are not unique or
singular.

Anyone who archives or records sightings is welcome to add this
report to their database. The pix are not to be copied or
reposted without my permission. I include them as corroboration
for my sighting report and 'FYI' for my fellow UpDates list
members only. Please don't let me find them splattered all over
the web. I don't know what these things are and I don't want
anyone 'speculating' for me without my knowledge. "Some folks"
on the web have no scruples that way.

Enjoy,

John Velez
