There I was, sitting on the dock of the cove. I was minding my own business, enjoying some tobacco and the company of people around me. All of a sudden, within the Southwest night sky, a spherical, red craft appeared. The craft was moving steadily at approx. 4.8 knots. The craft traveled approx. 0.8 nautical miles across the sky.

It sped up considerably after turning towards the west. Seven people were here and all spotted it at the same time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
