Black disk, no lights

On May 2, around 8:30ish pm, I observed a black disc-shaped object flying in a perfectly straight line across the sky. It moved at a constant speed, made no sound, had no lights, and showed no fluctuation or wobble—unlike any bird, drone, or conventional aircraft. The cloud coverage was low today due to a storm, if I had to guess, this would have been a max height at which a bird would fly, but it wasn't a bird.

It passed through the low clouds and disappeared into one after a few seconds. The object was very round and moved smoothly with no visible means of propulsion. I'm adding an image I designed to be a rendition of what I saw

Stationary sphere in sky looked like a big ball of mercury

Driving into work and I pulled into parking lot and slowed down and in the sky was a very shiny silver sphere, the sun glistened off it, I figured I would park and get my phone out but when I looked back up it was gone, I even drove back the same way I came in thinking it was only visible at certain angles but it was gone, I wish I would’ve never took my eye off it, it was stationary and not moving and reminded me of a round ball of mercury, mirror like reflection

light source in sky changing colors through the ROVGBIV colors seen through telescope

A flashing light came over the hill / tree tops to the east. I figured it was a star throught he trees. I went outside tolook and it did not look like a star or planet as it seemed to be flashing through the color spectrun in a repeat pattern. I got binoculars and confirmed this, then a cheap old reflect telescope. It definitely is a light source moving through the color spectrum. It is rising indicating that it is stationary but if this is a planet I would be very suprised.




NUFORC Note:

Sirius? PD
