Textured Sphere Observed Over Pennsylvania
Me and a buddy of mine were standing around a fire at 1:30 a.m. Saturday night enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having here in south central Pennsylvania. I had to retrieve something from my garage when I looked over to the west and seen a aspirin sized yellow/orange colored object low in the sky. I got out my smart phone and opened up the Google Sky map app to see if it was a rising planet or something. According to the Sky map app there wasn't anything there but a few minor stars.I decided to go get my binoculars and check it out. I rested the binoculars on a tree branch so the image was steady. When looking at the object I was amazed by what I was seeing. It was a beautiful pale white color, almost the same color as the moon itself. Inside of the glow was a defined, perfectly round sphere with sort of a patterned or textured surface. Even though it was a few miles away I could still see the textured surface. After hovering about 5-7 minutes the object slowly descended below a tree line and was gone.
