Duration: 1 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: St. Augustine, FL, USA

Shape: Sphere


HUGE Sphere-like craft spotted while driving S on Interstate I-95 near St. Augustine, FL (NOT A BLIMP!!)

Driving South on I95 just South of St. Augustine in Florida...saw a sphere-like craft with smaller top, silvery-white in color, seems to of been silently floating on east side of I-95 first heading south than disappearing low behind tree line...few minutes later saw it again on east side of I95 South heading in opposite direction, North. It headed North for approx 15 seconds, than disappeared again behind tree line. Have never seen anything like this...must of been 10-15 times the size of a normal airplane in the air within at least a few miles of interstate. It didn't look like any blimp I have ever seen..wasn't oval at all, but more sphere like with a smaller top. I am embarrassed to say that it looked just like pictures of UFO's I've seen in the news latey. I couldn't believe myself. I am not the type to report this, but it was just to amazing not to. I am a professional. A ((deleted--thirties)) year old married mother. I am a ((deleted--health care professional)) and my husband is a ((deleted--health care professional)) in Jacksonville. I would most definitely not make this up.

This was not a blimp..growing up in Florida, I have seen many, many blimps, rockets, space shuttles, etc...especially since my father was a ((deleted--aerospace worker)) and I lived in Cape Canaveral most of my childhood. This thing was going very, very, very fast...much, much faster than any blimp could travel. It was traveling so smoothly through the air with no sound. It was soooo unusual. I am unable to express how different it was than anything I have EVER seen. It was going maybe much faster than a jet plane could, but it was almost like a "glider." Tried to take photos of if, but I was driving alone, and they didn't come out too well on my camera phone.

I tried to call FAA to find out about it..but couldn't get anyone to answer me. It was stopping traffic...it was just like NOTHING I have ever seen in the world. It was amazing and very, very big.

I would love to know if anyone else reported something yesterday morning. It was approx around 10:45am ET.

Thank you.
