In Dec of 2011 while working an overnight shift, a witness and I were outside on the front porch talking enjoying the unseasonably warm weather....when all of a sudden this glowing cylindrical object approximately 200 ft in the air flies over our work place from east to west. This object glowed a pinkish hue, from our standpoint the size of a basketball. I counted approximately 4 seconds before it went out of our eyesight. It made no noise and no other aircraft were in the vicinity at the time. It was a beautiful sight and it shocked both of us because we knew this object was not of this world.
