Spinning round object over Lake Elsinore
This event occurred as my self and two other witnesses were proceeding to our cars in the company parking lot of our place of work, which is located at the edge of the local airport’s runway. Upon looking up, I noticed what looked like a perfectly round white balloon travelling in a perfect straight line in a westerly direction. This caught my attention as I knew balloons don’t usually travel through the sky this way.
As I mentioned to my co-workers to look up at what I thought was a balloon, the object was continuing in the straight line but was slowing to a complete stop, at about 15 degrees from directly above us, towards the north. We agreed that the object was being too stable for a balloon that was at that high altitude. At this time, my co-workers mentioned that the object was actually spinning in an elliptical fashion, like an egg being spun on counter, with a slight wobble.
After pausing at the spot for about 15 to 20 seconds, it proceeded to slowly rise at a very steep angle until it was out of sight.
We scoured the Net the following week for any indication of other people seeing what we saw, or if it was any other explainable phenomenon, natural or otherwise, but did not see any reports.
