UFO Sighting in Danville, According to UFO Tracking Site

An entry in UFO Stalker, a website that tracks UFO sightings across the world, claims a UFO passed over Danville on May 19.

Hanging out with E.T. would be cool. Hanging out with the alien from Alien, not so much.

So, why are we talking about aliens? Well, on May 19, according to UFO Stalker, a website that tracks UFO sightings across the world, a UFO passed over Danville. The entry describes it as a "small bright sphere (think satellite) that zig zagged rapidly then faded."

According to the site, the sighting took place east of Interstate 680, north of the Green Valley Shopping Center.

So, how many of you believe aliens are flying around in UFOs in our sky? How many of you think aliens flying around in UFOs in the sky is silly?

UFO Stalker:

Stepped outside to look up at stars. This is my ususal (sic) pre bedtime routine. Noticed small bright sphere, about the size of a satellite, zigzagging rapidly around the sky (think pinball) then moved quickly in straight line south east and faded from view. While processing that I observed a 2nd sphere, looked the same as the 1st, moved rapidly from northwest to southeast, in sort of an arc, no trail, faded from view. Few seconds later observed what I though initially was a satellite moving from east to west (with some relief I might add) but it moved too fast and again faded from view. I have observed many satellites and usually they have not moved across the sky as quickly and can be observed for quite some time. The ligt (sic) or glow never appeared to vary. I did look around the sky for airplanes to compare the lights against these spheres. There were at least 2 planes (pretty typical to see many planes as we are surrounded by airports), at much lower altitude with typical blinking lights. The 1st sphere I observed was what caused a feeling of mild alarm, heightened awareness and curiosity due to its very rapid and erratic pattern.

So, what do you think? UFO or mistaken identity?
