Sphere metallic object. not on water but above the loch would say few feet above water in air. none moving was stationary no wobbling or floating just still. was a nice clear day. between 3 miles away. size of golf ball to me. waited 15 mins. had to leave as i was doing a driving job. this was my run every twice a week at time. never seen it before or since. on way back two hours later stopped at same place. it wasn't there anymore. very bizzare. had mobile at time but no camera phone. not sure if phones had cameras back in 2000. anyway that's my story. just curious of what it could have been.
