Seeing a UFO. At least I think so? I was living in Washington D.C. in 1992 and I was going to work one morning when something in the sky moving south caught my eye. I looked up and I saw a polished silver spinning "sphere", although the object wasn't actually a sphere. It was composed of many planed off, faceted, pentagonal surfaces, like a diamond, that when taken together resembled the overall shape of a sphere. The sphere was spinning at perhaps 20 rpm and reflecting the sunlight off of its many flat surfaces. The object was moving south with a constant speed, direction and height. It looked like it was going somewhere. It didn't make any sound and it had no lifting surfaces. I estimate that the object was maybe 30 feet in diameter, about a half mile out, 500 feet in the air and moving between 150 to 200 miles an hour. I came to these estimates because the object went from the northwest of my position, where I initially sighted it, passed to my west, and then went out of sight to the southwest in about 20-25 seconds. The only thing that I can liken it to was some type of balloon. But it didn't act like any balloon I've ever seen. It definitely wasn't a kiddy balloon, and weather balloons go straight up when
released. If I had had a video camera with me that morning, the resulting tape would have likely been shown on many TV shows.
