It was in early November 2005 about 9.30 pm South Norfolk , England , UK. The sighting lasted about 5 – 10 mins. It was a cold clear November night , where you could see your breath in the air.
I was a 16 / 17 year old schoolboy at the time. The sighting happened I think approximately mid-week.
Me and my room-mate David were requested to go and lock up the school classrooms for the night. which we did but as we were coming out of one of the buildings dead ahead straight in front of us about 50 metres / 164 feet away , above the senior boarding house and above the pine trees , ( so we could not get a perfect idea of scale ) , but i would guess about 25 feet across or 2/3 small cars , was this perfect spherical shaped ball / globe shaped object. it caught my / our attention because it was straight ahead and was very bright ( intermittently ).
A couple of things immediately seemed unusual – the shape of it – it had no wings , doors , windows or propellers etc. and no markings at all that i could see. it almost seemed like it was made from a mold in a huge crucible.
It was absolutely completely totally silent , no noise.
The luminosity of it – one second brilliantly bright and the next dim. The colour when bright was a deep fiery orange-yellow and when dim very jet black almost like the dark night sky , which could be interpreted as the object was transparent and we were seeing the night sky behind it or it was a jet black colour itself. the material it was made from was glass like , super shiny polished reflective and smooth.
