Mysterious sphere caught over South Carolina

A mysterious object has been photographed in the skies over Greenville County in South Carolina. The anomaly which was snapped by local resident Stephanie Davenport appears to show a huge circular object with six possible lights attached to its body.
''I originally thought it was the moon, but when I zoomed in on my pictured it clearly wasn't. It is round and looked to have lights on it.''
Davenport said she consulted someone who might have the answer: a family member who works for NASA.
According to Davenport, this was what he wrote back, ''I think those dots are just pixels in your camera CCD that are over exposed. They are too orderly to be sun spots. Nothing to get excited about.''
Still, she's not quite ready to accept that explanation.
