Witness Testimony

"Hovering metal-like sphereIt was a metal ball hovering high in the sky. I was on my bicycle and stopped to watch. It was hovering. It was a metal ball/ sphere shining in the sun. No electric cables were near so it couldnt be something like that things to warn planes. It was noon. After three minutes i looked away for just an instant and it was gone. Quite amazing. I am absolutely sure off what i have seen! I have no further information regarding the object"
