No of observers: 5

Location: El Sobrante, CA, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Bright, yellow/orange circle, 10 ft. in diameter, silent, slow moving, 5mph, 50 ft. above ground-2 minutes, chased & threw rocks at it.

Myself, two younger brothers and two neighbor kids playing in the backyard on a Saturday morning. We saw a bright orange/yellow circle, approx. 10 ft in diameter, silently cruising about 50 feet above the ground. It was as bright as the sun. My younger brother asked me what it was. I told him it was the sun, although I knew it wasn't... at 8 years old, I had no other answer given my limited frame of reference.

They chased it, threw rocks at it. It drifted silently on it's course at about 5 mph, until it passed over our backyard and out of sight. It could have been in June of that year because it was warm that morning...perhaps the beginning of summer.
