We saw a silver football, motionless in the sky; stopped , looked about 3-5 mins. and resumed the trip.

Our schoolbus came over a divide and us kids saw a silver footall (pointed ends rather than oval) in the sky.  Mr. Darling, our bus driver stopped at a creek and the four of us kids jumped out.  He did not exit the door, but called us back on board.  We drove off with the object remaining motionless.  There were four kids ages 7-9 and the driver in his late 40's at the time.  He is deceased and all the kids are adults now.
Date is approximate.  PD
