CHROME TYPE "CIRCLE" SEEN FROM PLANE - WAS BELOW US, CAME UP TO OUR ALTITUDE THEN WHIPPED AWAY

hello, HUNSTVILLE ALAAMA AREA / APPROX 6:10PM (CENTRAL TIME) / I WAS LOCATED IN PLANE AT 6000 FT LOOKING OUT WINDOW / ROUND CHROME COLORED BALL / SIGHTING WAS BY ME FROM THE PLANE ( PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SMALL PIPER 4 PERSON PLANE ).

i sort of feel stupid to be honest. i never thought i would be investigating UFOs. i never thought i would actually see something myself either. i dont know who to contact about this but i would welcome any help you can get me. i just want to know if someone beside me "saw" anyhting at the same time/place..........and........if there is any explanation for what i experienced ( some kind of explanation of what it could have been based on where i saw it, whebn i saw it, what it looked like etc ).

anyway, as far as i know - you may be a hoax type organazation. i have no idea. i found you by searching the web but thought MAYBE you are ufo experts and can help me figure this out or put me in touch w someone thaty can help me get an explanation for what i saw.

i had been in atlanta for a couple of days. i was flying home with a business associate. we were in his private plane ( HIM AS PILOT - ME AS PASSENGER BESIDE HIM IN FRONT SEAT ). he is a pilot so he was at the controls on his small plane ( 4 person aircraft / piper ). he did not see this and i have not even mentioned it to him. i did not mention it to him when it happened either. i was imbarrased as to even know how to try to discuss it as he and i are not good friends but instead only associates and this was the very first time i had been around him much. it was also the first time i had been up in his plane as well. so, the last thing i wanted to do was to start telling this guy i doint know very well about how i just saw a UFO during our first business trip together in his plane.

here is my story and will try not to change it from the "exact" facts only. ...............it was AUGUST 19 2005 at approx 6:10pm on my watch ( set to west tennessee time - CENTRAL TIME - NOT SURE WHAT TIME IT WOULD BE IN HUNTSVILLE AL ). we were flying home to TN from atlanta. i was looking out the window towards the ground just watching. i havent been up in a small plane but once before so this was fun to me so i was just enjoying watching the ground. i noticed below us what seemed look like maybe a chrome ball or maybe a mylar balloon? it basically looked sort of chrome in color and round. it seemed to be about maybe 500 to 1000 ft away maybe ( i knew distance because we had recently had a plance pass under us and the pilot said he was about 1000 ft below us ). anyway, i saw this ROUND CHROME COLORED BALL below us ( between us and the ground ). it seemed to me to be approx maybe 1000 ft below us ( or so ). it began to move upward sort of toward us. i thought maybe it was a balloon. however, i remembered we were "moving" in a plane so we should have passed by it if it was a slow rising balloon.it didnt act like a balloon anyway. i am looing aout the window watching this ball rise towards us. it seemed like maybe it was rising slow at first ( or stopped ), then within maybe 3-6 seconds or so, it rose up to the same altitide as our plane, then moved sideways ( as if it were parallell with us and moved in the opposite direction as what we were flying ). i had to tiurn my head backward to watch it move by thru the back seat area glass ( i was in the front passenger seat ). then, as it moved by us it seemed to shoot up really fast and vanish.

basically withing about 10 seconds or so from the moment i saw it, it rose up to our level, was about maybe 100 feet away ( when at our level ), moved sideways ( like going opposited direction as us ), then swooped upwards ( allot faster than it was moving before ) and vanished.

i was a little scared and did not know what i saw. i did not say anything to the pilot about it as i just did not know what to say. ...........i did however, ask him right away 'WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?" and "HOW HIGH UP ARE WE?" .......I thought this may come in handy somehow later if i wanted to try and investigate this. I had no idea where we were ( above what state or city etc ) as I am not familiar with plane routes..............so i had no idea where we were. ......anyway, he told me we were above HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA and we were at 6000 FEET. ....I then looked at my watch at noted it was ABOUT 6:10 PM ( my watch set at timezone of my home in WEST TN )...I am not sure if that would be the same time in HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA or not. ......

I did not see this out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty clear skys and i watched it clearly. It appeared to be something like a ROUND BALL and looked sort of chrome in color. I have no idea of the size as the distance would be sort of hard to gauge in the air for me but if i had to guess id say maybe 5ft to 20ft in diameter??? CAN YOU HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT? WAS ANYTHING GOING ON IN HUNTSVILLE AL AT ANOUT 6:10PM ( WEST TN TIME )? ARE THERE ANY HISTORY OF THIS? IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE I CAN CONTACT? IS THERE ANY GOOD INFO ONLINE THAT WOULD HELP ME? IF SO WHERE ONLINE IS IT? I am not jerking you around and i am 36 years old. I feel stupid even asking and even dumber admitting I saw this but i did.

i hate to give out my name at least right now. hope u understand for know.

i cant just "stop" thinking about it.

i need to know more.

any assistance would be appreciated.

Q: I WE WERE MOVING FORWARD IN AN AIRPLANE, THEN IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHAT APPEARED TO BE MOVING UP FROM BELOW TOWARD US FROM THE BEGINING MUST HAVE ALSO NEEDED TO BE MOVING ALONG AT THE SAME PACE AS US. IF NOT, WOULD WE NOT HAVE PASSED BY IT??? SO MAY BE IT WAS ACTUALLY MOVING ALONG UNDER US AND GAINING ALTITUDE............SO IT APPEARED TO BE MOVING UP IN A STRAIGHT LINE........THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, IT HAD TO MAYBE HAVE NEEN MOVING IN SAME DIRECTION AND SAME SPEED AS US WHEN I ORIGINALLY SAW IT AND NOTICED IT COMMING UP TOWARDS US..................CRAZY!........WAS IT SORT OF FOLLOWING US?????................SPOOKY BECAUSE I AM NOT A BIG FLYER AND THIS WAS THE ONLY THE 2ND TIME I HAD EVER BEEN IN A SMALL PLANE. IT WA THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER BEEN ON A LONG ER FLIGHT IN A SMALL PLANE. .....................I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

Thanks
