Glowing silverish sphere type object, with bright swirling, varying illumination. Sphere appears quite often.While I go outside regularly to smoke a cigarette, my wife usually joins me. Her and I have seen an object East of where we live. As I try to keep an eye on whatever it is, it moves in uniform. However, I checked the times of this objects appearance, for it only seems to appear around 11PM to 12AM.Furthermore, this object doesn't seem to be an airplane, because, it is stationary. When it does decide to move, it moves like no helicopter I've seen. It moves in a darting motion, for an instant stopping hover. There seems to be no noise but, the object it quite far East of where we are located.As I have been very interested in aircraft, this object seems to be nothing of this world. But, it has lights that look to sparkle like a stars glowing twinkle. At a distance, I thought it were to be an aircraft because, it looks like the lights that glow from it could be red and green. However, what makes me believe this to be no standard aircraft is the way it moves.I have a feeling it could be a military experiment, for it appears at the same time, several nights out of the week. I have just started documenting sightings because; I see this object quite often. My wife has also witnessed this object, and pointed it out to me. As I have seen this object before, just never mentioned it to her because, I didn’t want her to think I was a crazy person.Appearance times are: 11 PM-12 AM, East of Burnsville, NC.Object description: The object is a circular shape, like looking at a floating ball.Color: Looks like a silver ball, bright swirling illumination (Lights could be; red, green, orange, white). The object’s color is too difficult to see without a telescope, and or binoculars. However, object can be seen VERY clearly, to know it’s there.
