Traveling south on I-10, aprox. 35 miles south of Phoenix, on 6/4/99, i saw a very intense, bright object in the eastern sky. The light was very bright, and seemed to be somewhat oval in shape. It seemed to have a metalic finish, almost a chrome!! it seemed to have a roundness about it. i watched it as i was driving, out my driverside window. the sky was clear. no clouds, on this sunny morning.In relationship to the ground...the sun was higher in the sky. Size...(see image I sent via e-mail)As I watched it for about 15-20 seconds, turned away to see where i was on the road, turned back to view the bright light, and it had vanished! i did not see any other airplanes, contrails,landing gear, wings, or anything that looked like an airplane. Upon returning to Phoenix after my business in Tucson, I called the FAA and they refered me to Peter Davenport....hence...this report! FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO!!!!
