CSIGHTING DETAILS
What did the UFO look like, shape/size in relation to terrestrial objects/lights/colour:
brown, small, dot, reflective surface
Did the UFO do any strange things like hover and then zoom off quickly:
hovered, then I tried to get a passerby to confirm, he said
he didn't see it although I still did, then it made constant
acceleration to the nw as I was pointing it out.

Any additional comments:
At approximately 9:25 am EST I was saw a brown object over head to the nw as I
am walking past the Alamance Building at Elon University. I asked another
passer by if he could see it and he said no, although I could still see it.
As I was pointing out the object, it starts to speed toward the northwest,
beyond some trees which obstructed my view, so I was not able to track it.
Incidentally, there were brown leaves falling from the trees, but I could
tell the difference between this object and the brown leaves. It was
sort of brown in color, with just a hint of a reflective surface. It did not
make any "detectable" sound, and I estimate its height was about 1000 or 2000 fe
et, although,
since it look like it was "small". I put down circle, but really it was just
a dot since I could not make out any details besides it was brown and seemed
to reflect sunlight. Hope somebody can verify aircraft in the region of Elon
University, either meteorologist or air traffic.
I did see a plane about 10 or fifteen minutes later, heading north east, but
that was way past the time the unidentified object was out of the vicinity as
far as I could tell.
Incidentally, I am a skeptic about extra terrestrial craft, but I have seen
Unidentified Flying Objects two other times before that had puzzling flight acti
vity.
This the first one I have seen during the day.
