Witness account
Narrative
My mother had just gotten her first camera and was walking along the back field taking pictures of the cows and snapped this photo of what she said was a ball as big as her brother's car moving above the tree tops , it went from one side of the property along the tree-line and moved out of view. She said it was as fast as a gliding bird. submitted by /u/Practical-Pick1466
