Already left message on answering machine. My son was out jogging about a block and a half from our home,and stopped in his tracks when saw something in the sky, . My son first said it was as large as a football field, but corrected this to saying it seemed large like a planet. He said the width covered the span of five to seven houses, which might not make sense, but this is what he said. My son stopped to look at it, and did a doubletake, because he could not believe what he was looking at. Afterwards, he ran home to tell me. I walked to where the sighting took place(perhaps I should have taken my car)and unfortunately it was gone. We just wanted to let you know. Thank You...

The object was bright and yellow similar to the sun,with an oval shape. It was described as having clouds all around it, but I assume this is due to probably actual clouds in the sky;however,I must admit it is a clear night out. The object was low in the western sky and covered the span of five to seven houses. My son said looked like a planet.

NUFORC Note:

The witness indicated the date of 11NO00. We assume she means 11JA00. We have changed the date here.
