Initial data
I guess I was about 7 years old when it happened, maybe younger. I remember being in short-sleeved clothes and the street was still wet from the recent rain late at night. We lived in a cul-de-SAC in a neighborhood full of young families with children. My best friend, another friend of ours, and I were crossing the street from my house to go to my best friend's house to play.
When we got to the middle of the wet street, I looked up and saw something very strange. Directly ahead and to my right, a large round ball of silver and metal hung in the overcast sky.
Even more strange, there were yellow-and-white glowing symbols, almost like letters, that rotated around the middle of the sphere. It seemed very close, right at the level of the tops of the tallest trees in our area, much closer than anything I had ever seen in the sky. It looked bigger than the car, but much smaller than the house.
Stunned, I called out to my friends, who kept walking. Oddly enough, they didn't seem to recognize anything strange, and they didn't even look where I pointed, and continued across the street. I was so curious that I stopped right here in the middle of the street to see if I could "read" what the symbols were saying and find out what the metal ball was. My only reference point for something like a message in the sky was blimps with flashing message lights on the territory of a car, or planes that pulled ads behind them.
I've always loved reading, writing, communication, and language, so I couldn't wait to solve what I thought was a puzzle. No matter how hard I tried, none of the characters resembled any letters I knew (there were definitely no "spaces" between the supposed "words"), and I remember thinking it must be a different language that doesn't use the same letters.
I've never seen anything in the sky shaped like this ball before, and I remember wondering why this new invention advertises something right above our street ??? It seemed like I only stood there for a few minutes, and then I found myself continuing across the street to my best friend's house.
Once inside, my friends irritatingly asked: "Where have you been?» I excitedly told them what I'd seen (including both of our moms), but they didn't believe me. From time to time after that, when I was on my way to my best friend's house, I would stop in the middle of the street and look up to see if the metal ball had returned. I never saw it again.
I never forgot my strange observations. In recent years, when the Internet appeared, I looked to see if anyone had seen something similar to what I wrote about here. So far, I haven't found a single mention similar to mine with the same details in the UFO category during my Internet searches, so maybe what I saw can be identified and someone knows what it is!

Original news
My best guess is that I was about 7 years old when this happened, maybe younger. I remember having on short sleeves, and the street was still wet in places from a recent rain, late afternoon. We lived on a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood full of young families with children. My best friend, another friend of ours, and I were crossing the street from my house to go over to my best friend’s house to play. When we got to the middle of the wet street, I looked up and saw something very strange. Hanging there, just ahead and above me to my right, in the overcast sky, was a big, round, silver/metal orb. Even more strange, 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 our neighborhood, much closer than anything I had ever seen in the sky. It seemed to be bigger than a car, but a lot smaller than a house. Stunned, I called to my friends who who had kept on walking. Oddly, they seemed not to recognize anything strange, nor did they even look up to where I was pointing, and they continued on across the street. I was so curious and stayed right there in the middle of the street to see if I could “read” what the symbols said, and if I could figure out what the metal ball was. My only frame of reference for anything like a message in the sky were blimps with bulb-flashing messages on the passenger car area, or planes that trailed a banner behind them. I have always loved reading, letters, communication, and language, so I was eager to solve what I thought was a puzzle. Try as I might, none of the symbols resembled any letters that I knew (there certainly weren’t any “spaces” between any supposed “words”), and I remember thinking this must be another language that doesn’t use the same letters. I had never seen anything in the sky shaped and looking like this orb ever before, and I remember wondering why is this new invention advertising something right over our street??? It seemed like I stood there only a few minutes, and then I found myself continuing on across the street to my best friend’s house. Once inside, my friends annoyingly asked, “Where were you?” I told them excitedly about what I had seen (including both of our moms), but I was brushed off by everyone. Every so often after that, when I headed across to my best friend’s house, I would stop in the center of the street, and look up to see if the metal orb had come back. I never saw it again.

I have never forgotten my own strange sighting. Over recent years, with the availability of the internet, I have looked to see if anyone has seen something like I reported here. So far, I haven’t found any mention like mine with the same details in the ufo cateogory during my internet searches, so perhaps what I saw is identifiable, and someone knows what it is!
