Witness Testimony

"On April 26th at 11 PM i helped my fiance outside (she just had knee surgery) to smoke.I went back in to get a drink,as soon as i walked in she called out "Jack come here quick" I hurried back out .she said what is that pointing up,when i looked up i saw a very bright object it was a sphere about the size of the full moon .I said i don't know she asked agaln I said i think it's a ufo.we both became excited and watching as it moved across the sky. the object was very bright red/orange in color the best way to describe it is glowing like a big neon ball .It moved across the sky unhurried in a steady southwest direction it made no sound and we watched it about 45 seconds to maybe a minute and a half .it's hard to say how high it was but it was at leasr 4 or 5 hundred feet up it was close but not real close maybe 1/2 mile to a mile .it was easy to see it was solid it was very bright but clearly defined as it moved across the sky it looked as if it started to head more west we didn't see it turn but near the time it got into the trees it was moving almost straight away from us and it moved right to left when we first saw it.it seemed to stay the same hight the whole time but entered the. trees as it got further away .we lost sight because of the trees.it appeared to head over the ocean west along the islands of marathon we were very excited after it was gone i called my son she called here bother..we hardly slept and i went outside pretty many times to see if it was there .we passed theories back and forth all day today we were excided we asked a couple friends if they had herd if anyone had seen it so far we haven't herd of anyone else but we really thought that as big and bright as it was others would have seen it to maybe even got a picture .we really didn't even think to grab a phone and take a picture till it was all over.it really is something i never thought i would see but am really glad i did it really was an awesome experience for me and Anne.this object was close enough to tell it was solid and a very cool color.it was not what i would have thought a ufo would look like but looking at it as it moved by it made me feel like ,wow this thing is so big and bright how could it not be seen by anyone outside .you didn't have to look up to know it was there.with the full moon to the easy and this object to the west it made for a very bright night .I still can't get the image of it out of my head "
