Location: Spokane, WA, USA

white oval craft travelled east to west over Spokane,estimate 10,000 ft,speed aprox 200mph,seemed to be dark line around edge.

Standing on a loading dock at work looking east, two of us were talking about UFO`s, and noting neither of us had ever seen one. Just then I said what`s that? and we looked up in a clear blue sky and saw a white oval craft cruising over town, travelling slowly east to west. It looked about a quarter the size of the full moon. We noted it had no wings or discernible features other than a thin dark line around the edge. It made no sound,and left no contrail. We noted it kept going straight in the direction of the long axis of the oval, and made no turns. Guessing, we estimated 10,000 ft. high, speed 200mph. I`m an ameteur astronomer, and was surprised to see this in broad daylight.
