No of observers: 1

Location: Pleasanton, CA, USA

Shape: Teardrop

Fast, zig zagging black tear dropped shaped object seen in the middle of the day.

This was 6 years ago so some of the details are a little off, but here goes what I best remember.

I was standing outside, playing basketball and admiring the wispy clouds when something catches my eye, a black object hovering in my peripheral. I turn 90 degrees to see it hovering about 1000 or so feet above the ground, not rotating, just hovering there. I take a step towards it after staring for three seconds and it instantly shoots up about 2000 more feet and hovered there for another couple seconds before jetting off over my head in a very sharp zigzagging pattern at extremely high speeds and disappearing out of sight in a matter of 5 seconds or so. I felt uneasy afterwards and then headed back inside.

My memory on this is hazy as I'd somewhat repressed it in the back of my mind until two months ago when my psychiatrist helped me remember it. This has recently inspired me to get into the field of ufology and find out what it was I saw that day, or possibly see something like it again.
