"It must have seen me observing it" - Metallic-looking Orb in San Antonio

• When: January 21st, 2020
• Where: San Antonio
• What: Circular orb flashing colors and traveling through sky

A really intriguing and detailed report of a spherical metallic-looking light has been submitted to TexasUFOSightings. According to the witness, the circular orb flashed red and then blue at one point and was very obviously under intelligent control, but no one else in the vicinity seemed to notice it:

Was eating lunch in my vehicle in a parking spot overlooking the SA River just south of SE Military Dr. in the linear park. The elevation of the location is about 30 ft above the river. I was parked facing west and the river runs north and south (so perpendicular). No clouds and the visibility was crystal clear. I could see as far as the limitation of my own vision.

I noticed an object in my peripheral vision moving left to right across my field of vision. It was almost parallel with my field of vision through the windshield of my vehicle facing west. I initially thought it was a silver mylar baloon that got loose and was blowing in the wind but noticed it was perfectly round about the sized of a beach ball and moving north in a very straight trajectory about 30 mph. I focused on it as it passed right in front of me at a distance of about 50 yards. As it passed in front of me moving north,
I had to then turn my head right to follow, it flashed red. The entire orb turned red for an instant and then it flashed to a cobalt blue for an instant and then turned back to its metallic sheen. I jumped out of my vehicle and ran to the rail in front of my parking spot and leaned forward as far as I could to see if I could follow it further as it proceeded north toward downtown SA following the river. It flew over the Military Drive bridge and went out of sight never changing direction or speed while I observed it. The entire episode lasted maybe 20 seconds. It was so clear what I saw that there is no doubt in my mind that it was under intelligent control not an artifact blowing in the wind.
There were other people at the river level on the opposite side that did not look up at all. The Orb passed about 30 ft over their heads without notice. One couple was sitting on park bench facing the river feeding ducks. 4 others were fishing closer to the bridge. No one else seemed to see or hear it as it went by. I've been wondering ever since if the orb flashed those colors for my benefit. Clearly, I saw it right in front of me, so it must have seen me observing it as well. I'll never know. I eat my lunch in that spot almost every day. From now on, I'm going to keep my phones camera on while I eat so I can be ready if it happens again. I hope it does.
