This sighting occurred about nine years ago...So I have forgotten
|
|||
|
|
the exact date and time. My mother and I to our knowledge are the only
|
|||
|
|
ones to see this since we did not inquire about the area to see if any
|
|||
|
|
one else saw it. It was shortly after sunset and a storm was comming
|
|||
|
|
in from the ocean when we saw something we knew wasn't a plane.
|
|||
|
|
We were sitting on the porch of our summer home on Edisto Island,
|
|||
|
|
S. Carolina, when my mother noticed this bright round object. At first
|
|||
|
|
she mistook it for the moon, but on closer observation we realised it
|
|||
|
|
couldn't be since it was very cloudy out and it moved around. I myself
|
|||
|
|
only saw it for a short time, but mom had viewed it considerably
|
|||
|
|
longer. This object was huge, I can only guess at it's size, something
|
|||
|
|
like 200-300 feet accross. I knew it was low to the ground because I
|
|||
|
|
could make out the outline of trees behind it and it appeared to be
|
|||
|
|
coming out or above the woods.
|
|||
|
|
It was a bright gold in color like "spun gold". It looked similar
|
|||
|
|
to a plate or saucer standing on it's rim. It had no lights as far as
|
|||
|
|
we could notice and made no sound. It did move in several directions,
|
|||
|
|
after a few moments we lost sight of it. We thought maybe it could
|
|||
|
|
have been a form of "ball Lighting" since a storm was approaching or
|
|||
|
|
even a weather balloon but isn't a weather balloon silver or white
|
|||
|
|
in color and as I understand "Ball Lightening" is very rare and
|
|||
|
|
never that big.....
|
|||
|
|
I would be interested on comments as to what this may or could have
|
|||
|
|
been. Especially from anyone in the scientific community....
