Location: Melbourne, FL
Shape: Sphere
Duration:5 seconds
While driving a white sphere crossed road in front of us at high speed then turned straight down and disappeared.

My wife and I were driving south on Wickham road when a large white sphere shot across the sky it was going west parallel with the ground and appeared to cross the road about 7 to 10 miles in front of us the sphere didn't look to be very high in the sky less then 300 feet but was difficult to judge at night as you couldn't see a landmark to try and get a bearing on it. The craft then took a 90 degree turn straight down toward the ground and disappeared. From where we were it looked like it would have hit the ground in West Melbourne or Palm Bay. The entire event didn't last 5 seconds. From that far away it still looked to be a pretty big craft not 100 feet across but bigger than a helicopter. What made us think it was a ufo was the 90 degree turn at very high speed not that far off the ground I was expecting to see the ground light up from the crash but nothing happened. If you want to contact me send an Email with a phone number and evening time to call you.
