Initial data
The 7-year-old witness was outside with his best friend and another friend and was crossing the street from his house to go to his best friend's house to play.
When they reached the middle of West street, he looked up and saw something very strange. Directly ahead and to his right, a large round silver-metal ball hung in the overcast sky. Even more strange were the yellow-and-white glowing symbols that looked like letters that spun around the middle of the sphere. It seemed very close, right at the level of the tops of the tallest trees in the area. It looked bigger than the car, but much smaller than the house.
Stunned, he called out to his friends, who kept walking. Oddly enough, they didn't seem to see anything strange, they didn't even look where he was pointing, and continued across the street.
He was curious and stayed in the middle of the street to see if he could "read" what was written on the symbols and find out what kind of metal ball it was.
His only reference point for anything like a message in the sky was airships with flashing message lights in the vicinity of a passenger car, or planes that pulled ads. He had always loved to read, so he couldn't wait to solve what he considered a mystery. However, none of the characters resembled the letters he knew, and he remembers thinking it must be a different language that doesn't use the same letters.
He had never seen anything like it before. He seemed to stand there for only a few minutes, then found himself continuing across the street to his best friend's house. Once inside his friends asked irritably: "Where have you been?»
He excitedly told them what he had seen, but they did not believe him. He never saw the metal ball again.

The 7-year old witness was outside with his best friend and another friend and was crossing the street from his house to go over to his best friend’s house to play. When they got to the middle of the west street he looked up and saw something very strange. Hanging there just ahead and above to his right in the overcast sky was a big, round, silver/metal orb. Even stranger there were yellow/white glowing symbols, almost letter like, that were rotating around the middle of the sphere. It seemed very close by, right around the treetop level of the tallest trees in the
neighborhood. It seemed to be bigger than a car, but a lot smaller than a house. Stunned he called to his friends who had kept on walking. Oddly they seemed not to recognize anything strange, nor did they even look up to where he was pointing, and they continued on across the street. He was curious and remained in the middle of the street to see if he could “read” what the symbols said, and if he could figure out what the metal ball was. His only frame of reference for anything like a message in the sky was blimps with bulb-flashing messages on the passenger car area or planes that trailed a banner behind them. He had always loved reading and language so he was eager to solve what he thought was a puzzle. However none of the symbols resembled any letters that he knew and he remembers thinking this must be another language that doesn’t use the same letters. He had never seen anything like that before. It seemed like he stood there only a few minutes and then found himself continuing on across the street to his best friend’s house. Once inside his friends annoyingly asked “Where were you?” He told them excitedly what he had seen but was brushed off by everyone. He never saw the metal orb again.
