NARRATIVE

Walked out of the back door of the restaurant I worked in on Valley View Blvd., which is very close to the airport.  There was a small, completely silent orb shaped ball of light about 30 feet above the back parking lot.  I just stood and observed for a short time, then the object slowly moved directly upward, eventually gaining velocity and moving far from my sight.
Date may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.  PD
