Sphere over Larnaka, Larnaca District, Cyprus

The report, as filed

Sometime in the early afternoon I had noticed a relatively large spherical object hovering between two buildings in the Drosia area of Larnaca. I know the skyline relatively well and so it caught my attention. The object seemed to be built in 3 parts, the top was seemingly a polished silver, the middle was also a similar color but with square indents across the center, possibly windows but I couldn’t make it out for sure as I was approximately 2km away. There was also a red light that separated the middle from the bottom portion that spanned across the center of the sphere to the right edge from my perspective - a long thin light that did not blink or spin with the object. And the bottom seemed a darker metal like iron. What was strikingly odd was that the object was hovering in place but the top and bottom parts were spinning counter to each other, I cannot recall which directions but for example the top was spinning counter clockwise and the bottom was spinning clockwise while the center portion was still. I had observed this for a considerable amount of time with my glasses on.
