Description | The witness, while on a lunch break from working at Jersey General Hospital, observed a spherical silver/metallic object shimmering at high altitude over St Helier’s waterfront. The object moved gradually around a fixed point in the sky, stood out against a completely blue sky, and intermittently reflected a bright white light. The sighting lasted for about 30 minutes. The witness, a medical doctor with a background in neuroscience, philosophy, and military training, couldn’t identify the object and left to return to work without seeing it disappear. |
