UFO Sighting Report!

I was driving north on PA interstate 79 at 70mph. The
time was approx. 10:15 AM. It was a partly sunny morning
with blue sky and scattered cumulus clouds. Since it was
Saturday, there was less traffic and I was able now
and then to look up over the horizon. This area is one of
flat farm land and rolling hills scattered small cities nearby.
I was about 2 mi. S of Interstate 80 and the Clarion exit.

I happened to glance above the distant treeline and saw
a brilliant sphere at one clock position. It was probably
about two or three miles away. I kept trying to watch it as I
was driving and it seemed to be motionless. There were no
shadows. It didn’t pass through any clouds.

This sphere was silver with what appeared to be some
kind of short nubs on the side which may have been part
of a ring around the middle. I couldn’t tell but they
were too short to be airplane type wings. There were
no blinking lights. I was able to watch it for about
15/20 sec. I lost track of it as I came up a rise in
the highway and trees then obscured my view to the East.
When I had another clear view I didn’t see this object
anywhere. I doubt it was a plane. I come from a family
who owned private aircraft and who were in the field of
aviation so I know a few things about planes.

I didn’t report this earlier in order to think about what
I saw. Although I have believed for many years in UFO’s
I haven’t been looking for one ( even though I live in
Westmoreland Co.! )
