Man Recalls Seeing Metallic Orb-Like Object That Shot Straight Up in Sky.

Location of Sighting: Cazenovia, New York
Date of Sighting: July 19, 2006
Time of Sighting: 10:20 AM EDT

Description: When my morning breakfast was taken to the driveway by our house, I sat in my spring chair to eat my bowl of cereal. When the chair stopped flexing, my view of the blue sky was good between a few nearby trees. When something looked like it shouldn’t be there my interest in what I thought I saw became much more interesting to me than breakfast. What was observed was an object that reflected the sunlight as would a metallic orb. It was about the size of a golf ball held at arm’s length. It was circular and very slowing moving due west. There looked to be no rotational movement on it’s own axis, but it’s forward movement relative to the sunlight revealed the appearance of panels as the light reflected from the shiny surface. No sound was noticed. At first it’s position was about 60 degrees from the horizon, but after about 3 minutes the object was at about 85 degrees from the horizon, almost directly overhead from where I sat. Not wanting to move from my seated position in the chair (I was reclined at a 45 degree angle) the object suddenly shot straight into the sky and out of sight. There were no physical affects as the object departed, such as a hole-punch through clouds, as there were none. There was no sound. There were no visible markings on the underside of the craft and it’s saucer like circular shape looked to be symmetrical. There were no lights on the exterior of the craft.
