Dark Spherical UFO sighted in the early evening in the colorado springs CO area.

I had taken a friend to her storage shed. It was early evening but still quite dark. The moon was visible and next to it venus (I presume).

As I looked at the moon I noticed what appeared to be 3 small stars (very dim and white in color). On closer observation I noticed an outline of a dark spherical craft. The craft seemed to be very large and very high in the sky but was clearly outlined. the little lites changed briefly from 3 to 5 and then back the lights were on the bottom of the craft. The craft was motionless and seemed to just hang there.

This thing must have been huge! There was no sound or any motion.

I pointed the craft out to my friend and she glanced up and said that she thought that i was seeing stars.

We drove to my moms house and I pointed it out to my mother who was able to see the crafts outline as well. It had remained in place for the entire 20-30 minutes that I observed it.

The following night and for the last week I have been looking for it and haven't seen it or any small grouping of stars that should have been present if that was all I was seeing. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone else has had a simular sighting.

I expected that a UFO would be bright and saucer shaped not spherical and dark. I had the feeling that it didn't wish to be observed and that it was observing something --- there is a great deal of military stuff in the springs like NORAD and the SDI-testbed and the consolidated space operations center etc..
