NARRATIVE

This happened when I was approximately 16 years old, about 1987.  I was riding in the passenger seat of my moms s10 blazer and we were just about to pull into our driveway.  I saw this object motionless about 20 feet off the ground in a field.  It was a shiny metallic sphere, the size was between a softball and basketball.  It had no lights nor any features. It was like a polished ball bearing in appearance.  It was still for about 5 seconds then moved away very fast then turned and it was gone, it was completely silent.  It had accelerated faster than anything I have ever seen before.
This was the middle of the day on a bright sunny summer day in Michigan.
I've never seen anything like it since.
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.  PD
