The report, as filed

I saw metallic Shiney orb hiding bush to bush then hit my car hovered by my car after hitting my car so hard it put huge dent in my steal frame. Then hovered by my door and shut power off my car and friends truck then stared at me with its Shiney surface like a mirror for about 5 minutes I stared at it it was only two feet from my car door then it hovered down the side of my car went behind my trunk of my car then shot across highway 20 and disappeared there is more to what I saw it would take to long to right about this happened in 1987 I will never forget what I saw the orb was the size of a basketball or little smaller it seemed to power itself from the environment around the orb and sucked power from my car battery.. there were no lights just the sun reflecting off the metal from the orb and no sound most important no sound silent fast moving any direction it wanted and had intelligence.
