Softball size . Silver an very shiny , almost glass like.

Hot summer evening, at about 9:40 pm, my father an I went to call my brothers in from playing.  We were walking down the street and out of nowhere, a silver sphere dropped down from above, hovered in front of my father an me.  
We looked at each other, looked back at the sphere, and it went straight up.  
I could tell my father was shaken by how tight he grabbed my hand.  I just thought, "Wow, did I just see that?"
He never spoke about that night again.  I have several times; he just nods an says, "Yeah, I remember."  
I am curious if any other people have had this happen to them?
