I was sitting on our deck 8:30 in evening. Had bi-noculars with me, I like to look at stars and I heard a small plane, stood up look to southwest at plane landing at airport about 1m to 1.5miles away.Now I'm looking at plane through bi-nocs as it turned you could see its blinking lights red & white running lights. I used to work at that airport refueling planes ect.. anyway behind the plane came a super bright white light out of the southwest heading straight over my house. It was low altitude a little higher than the small plane. Thought it was another plane but no blinking lights. I was looking at it with bi-nocs it was spherical silvery shimmered no sound traveled northeast .As it went over head it appeared to slow a little then resume speed. Then I marked time because this was not a plane. I was alone at the time but when my son came home from football game. I told him I seen a u.f.o. and he said I qoute ...thats funny because during the game some people yelled look at that u.f.o... So I wasn't alone!! anyway the object continued its same path until it went out of sight..
