Ping Pong Size Floating Ball Observed
I believe I was 9 years old when the following event occurred, which would make it 1962.I was a good sleeper, but I awoke in the middle of the night one night and decided to turn on my light and read for a while, it was probably about 2:00 a.m.
The entire house, the entire neighborhood, was dark except for my little lamp which was mounted on the wall above my headboard.
I don't know what made me turn my head toward the window, but when I did, I saw an object the size and shape of a ping pong ball floating slowly toward me, horizontal to the ground.
It was as if it were trying to observe me, of course I was scared to death.
I quickly turned out my light, then after a few minutes woke my foster brother who made fun of me for the rest of the time he was with my family.
The only explanations I have been able to rationalize have been a moth or a headlight, but only a probe of some sort ultimately makes any sense.
