Sphere over Clairemont, CA

The report, as filed

I was sitting in my den watching TV, the window of the room to the west and my left. A portion of the sky lit up a soft yet bright beautiful light blue colour, catching my eye. As it is a very hot night with no rain, it could not be lightning. Also, the colour blue was vivid, not white, like lightening. I jumped up to look out the window to see what it could be. As I did, directly overhead, heading west at a fast rate of speed, was a sphere the size of what appeared to be like a basketball or larger, the entire center solid looking with a perfect sphere of an aura surrounding it. The entire object was a very beautiful shade of vivid yet soft light blue, the center slightly darker/denser. It quickly shot west out of sight. Whatever it was did not make any noise. The colour of the blue, spherical object with the glowing lighter blue aura surrounding it was beautiful against the black sky.
