UFO Types – The Spheres
Only slightly less common than the ubiquitous saucer shapes are the unidentified flying objects that appear to be perfectly round spheres. In size the sphere objects have been observed to be as small as one meter in diameter up to huge flying balls that are estimated as well over one hundred meters across. In daylight they tend to look silvery, as though made of some polished steel or aluminum. These spheroid craft are often described as giant flying ball bearings. In the twilight or nighttime sky a glowing orange or reddish light seems to emanate from them. A few reports state seeing either a small row of "windows" or possibly a narrow rim around the equator of these spheres.
As with the saucer craft, the spheres are highly maneuverable and can go from a hover to supersonic speeds in an instant. Despite the extreme speeds they have been observed obtaining, the spheres generate neither sound nor create a sonic wake in their passing. Quite often these strange round objects are traveling at a very sedate speed as though they have nothing to fear and all the time in the world to get wherever they are going. During World War II, allied pilots often reported having what they called "foo fighters", small luminous spherical orbs about a meter across, keep pace with their aircraft as they flew over combat zones.
Small spheres have been seen to glide over fields where crop circles subsequently appear. They have been observed around sunset to come in from very high, occasionally leaving a short-lived corkscrew-like trail of ice vapor in their wake. Many of the anomalous sightings filmed by various space missions on the Space Shuttle flights and from the International Space Station appear to be these round sphere-shaped UFO's. They are often seen to be gliding along above heavy thunderstorm clouds.
Another strange quality exhibited by the spheres is their seeming ability to simply vanish. They have been observed to just slowly fade out of existence as though somehow either phasing through a dimensional shift or possibly reverting to an invisible state. If, as has been speculated, these craft employ a powerful electro-magnetic anti-gravity engine then the perfectly round shape is understandable. A sphere is the perfect shape for such a device to use. It is through this lack of understanding that the Philadelphia Experiment, as allegedly undertaken by our own Navy, went so horribly wrong.

I seen one in 1977 or 78 it was 32- 36 foot across and was 15-20 foot over a house. I was able to get within 1/8 +_ and it left on a strait path out of the atmosphere at estimated 10,000 m.p.h. with no noise or con trail. Believe it or not I don’t care. There was witnesses.
I saw one last night (7/18/09)
at the Dave Matthews Band concert in east troy, wi. I have seen these before and have been on the look out lately. As we were leaving the venue and getting onto our bus, I noticed it glowing a bright oarngeish. It faded in and out,moved, hoovered, dimmed out and re appeared in different locations. It hovered around for a while and then vanished behind the tree line. It came back around bus three times, and I know for sure that it was not a plane. I made everyone on the bus look, we all could not explain it.
About a month before this, my friend and I were sitting on our porch around 12:30am in Milwaukee, Wi. We noticed in the distance, on the horizon line, one big bright light, like a spotlight, coming our direction. It descended as it got closer and then i noticed there were in fact two large spotlights on it, moving in different directions, as if scanning the ground. As it came closer i pointed at it and both spotlights instantly shown on us, and then quick moved away. As it flew over our heads, I noticed a small row of windows and a blue orb type thing glowing under neath the craft. It made a weird vacuum sound. I got the shivers, went inside to tell the my friends and immediately drew a picture. It was really strange, no one could really understand. I’ve been researching ever since.
when i was twelve i was walking out of a grove of aspen trees into an open field on a ranch that my grandparents worked on it was a clear sunny summer day as i got about halfway across the field a solid silver orb slightly bigger than a basket ball came from my left side and stopped in front of me i lurched back because i almost ran into it it was about 12 inches away from my face it appeared to have tiny slits around the middle of it it seemed to be observing me for about five seconds it made no sound and it was not distorting the atmosphere around it it then shot away at an extremely high rate of speed but made no sonic boom i am still disturbed by this encounter to this day
there have been Orb sightings making the news here in central utah – this was also around the time of the Orb UFO over Jerusalem – january and february 2011 – Very interesting skies!
