A silver sphere that emitted an electric blue reflection or force field maybe.

Driving down the road with my now wife, we both spotted this craft to our left over the river. We always look along the river for Eagles on our rides past this spot. As soon as we realized what we were seeing it dropped from the sky at such a rate of speed we couldn't determine where it went. As it was above the river, we assumed it had to have dropped into the river. We had witnessed the same exact craft maybe 2 weeks prior over the paper mill in Old Town from an adjacent trailer park entrance. Also above the same river a few miles down stream. We were not the only ones to witness these craft in our area at that time. Many people saw them at different times all with the same description. A silver sphere that emitted some weird blue light or something around it as it just remained in place. I can only estimate its size based on the normal air traffic that flies at that level thru the area preparing to land at the local airfield. But it was the size of any single engine plane that flies around here. But just a ball in the sky. Never flying around, always just hovering over the river maybe 1000 feet up. The dropping of it seemed propelled somehow though. Much faster than gravity works. Never saw it again after this sighting. It was what made me believe there is much more to this than we know about. Seeing is believing in this case. Never have I been able to figure out what it is since, and have only seen maybe 1 or 2 images from others that are similar to it in the last 20+ years. Reported it to mufon and spoke with an investigator. Unfortunately it was nearly 15 years later then so it's just a report. No real looking into it.
