On April 30th, 2006 I saw a very strange white silverish sphere hovering above in one spot in the EAST for over 10 minutes between 4:10 and 4:30 pm. I saw it from various windows in my house as well as when I went outside to watch and try to tape it. Unfortunately my GE VHS Camcorder with an 8X optical zoom could not pick it up.  I was very upset with the whole situation (caused an upset at home) that I went out and bought a JVC DV Camcorder with a 25x optical zoom  in May 2006.

On July 10th 2006, I used my JVC 25X Optical zoom cam to record this strange black vibrating object near the contrail.

I am POSITVE this was NOT a bird, balloon, or plane, although to view the video it might look like that.

I was in my home office room, and working on my computer. I took a break and looked out my office window that faces east. I turned to look in the SE direction and about 70 degrees above from my view, I saw something VERY strange! I watched it for about 10 seconds, as it just hovered in one place -- it looked to be sort of like vibrating - it was very odd how it hovered in one spot. I can't tell how high it was but it seemed to be just under the broken cloud cover but I could see it very well against the white clouds.

My first view of what it looked like with just my EYES while observing this from my office window looked a bit like this below. (I drew this as best as I could using Paintbrush) There was a strange affect around this object as well.. like it was vibrating or something:

The open slit seen in the drawing stayed that way while I observed it. It did not move in a forward or backward direction. It just seemed to vibrate and it hovered in one spot.

After about 10 seconds of watching this, to be sure it was not a balloon or bird, I then grabbed my DV Camcorder. I ran into my living room to tell my husband to grab the binoculars and told him to look out to the SE. While he was getting his binoculars, I looked out my living room window that also faces East and still saw the object  hovering above. I then ran through the kitchen, threw on some shoes, and went out to my back yard to the EAST corner of my property. The object was still up there, but now higher and still vibrating there silently.

I have a hard time finding things in the lens or the LCD view on my DV Camcorder (especially if something is very small). I kept trying to point the camera in the direction of where I saw it with my eyes and zoom in and out. When I looked through the lens, I could not find it. (very frustrating! )  I tried to tape for a few seconds , then I would lower my camera to look up at it. I could see it with my eyes, then I tried to video tape it again and could not find it in the lens, then I lowered my camera to look for it again, but then it was completely gone!  (VERY frusting!)

I waited for about  8-10 minutes longer, scanning the skies, but could not find it. When I went back inside, I asked if Chris could see it .. but he could not find it with the 10X binoculars. Usually I try to point out where it is for him, but I did not have time to do that while I was trying to video tape the object.

Then used a simple program to retrieve the video from my DV camcorder (via Firewire) to put this on my computer in AVI format so I could view this closer. At first, I thought I did not capture it at all, but there are are a few frames where I did capture it - I just could not see it in the camera lens when I tried to tape this.

Here is a screen shot of the object with information:

When watching the video normally at 30 fps,  you miss what I was trying to video tape.  In May 2007, I finally found a way to slow down the frame rate so the object can be seen without loosing too much of the quality -

I also submitted my report to UFOSNW.com HERE  but he has not updated the web site with the video.
