| Long Description of Sighting Report |

| Was walking on the track on the field at East Providence Senior High School on Pawtucket Ave, in the city of East Providence, Rhode Island. I was completing a lap around the track, when i noticed a black sphere approaching from the south west and traveling in a North easterly direction.
I stopped walking and paused to see what type of bird, plane, rocket or ballon. As I was looking at this thing i was trying to figure out what it could be. It took me about 10 seconds to rule out an eagle or hawk, and another 15 seconds to rule out a ballon, and as the Sphere go closer it was obvious that it wasn't a helicopter, there was no thumphing sound or loud turbine sound, the object did make a sound but it wasn't a sound that I can reference to anything I have heard before. The sphere was travelling at a speed around 250 miles per hour and it was travelling in a horizontal linear path. The black metallic sphere was traveling below cloud cover and at an attitude that i have commonly seen commercial airplanes taking when they pass over East Providence and heading to Green Air Port in Warwick Rhode Island. As I As the sphere was approaching it appeared to pass over the adjacent ball fields of Providence Country Day school, as such the sphere had to pass over the Pawtucket Ave and Waterman Ave intersection, Pawtucket Ave is a North to South ave and Waterman Ave intersects Pawtucket ave in an east to west direction. After the black metallic Sphere passed over the Providence Country Day fields in passed directly over the East Providence base ball field which is situated immediately south of the Foot ball Field and Track. As I was standing on the track i could clearly see the object as a solid Metallic Sphere that appeared to be black, could have been dark grey. The Metallic Sphere appeared to be travelling under intelligent control. The Metallic Sphere travelled in a linear path, it didn't veer left or right. There was no vapor trail behind the object, and there were no wings or anything projecting from the Sphere. In terms of size the metallic Sphere was a little bigger than a drum on a cement truck, for example the cylinder on a cement truck that is the container for cement/concrete. The Metallic Sphere passed high over the trees on the first base side of the East Providence base ball field, as it did you could see the Sun reflect off the top of the Sphere and the top of the Sphere reflected the Sun light with a mirror type of reflection, the Sun rerlecting off of the Metallic Sphere last a few seconds. The Sphere continued travelling in a North eastern direction over Commerical Way and headed in the direction of Taunton Ave (Rte 44). I proceeded to walk around the track and comptemplating what I just saw and was considering the possibilities. After 15 minutes had elapsed since the Metallic Sphere passed over head, a commerical airliner was passing over head in and heading in a South Westerly trek, basically flying pass the same area that the Metallic Sphere had been seen give or take 200-300 yards or so. The Commerical Airliner was silver in color and had a Red color horzontial stripe running the lenght the the plane, this appeared to be a 747. Would say that the Airliner passed over the school grounds between 1:30-1:40. There is a National Guard branch that is situated adjacet to Green Air Port in Warwick Rhode Island. Maybe the Metallic Sphere is some sort of National Guard drone performing some kind of surveilance mission? I would like to know what this could have been. Certaintly someone else should have seen this sphere, there were plenty of cars on the road when i left the High School parking lot it was a beautiful Saturday and people were no doubt around and about. |
