A round..white..shiny sphere hovering in the sky over Missouri.

While i was house-sitting for friends on vacation..i was outside and saw the B2 bomber fly over Fort Leonard Wood here in Missouri. I watched for it the next day and saw it flying behind a tanker on a midair refueling training flight and took pictures. The next day i went outside..looked up..and saw this shiny object. I first thought it was an F-16 or some other small jet and looked at it through my binocuar/camera. It was a round..white..and shiny. It NEVER moved and i watched it for almost 4 hours. I finally went in the house..came out..looked up..and it was gone. I watched for 5 more days and never saw it again...there. I came back home and a couple of days later..i went outside here to see if i could see it again. I did! I got out my 36x spotting scope and saw that it was a white..round..and shiny sphere. I could even see the shadow that it cast on itself from the sun! It clouded up then and and i couldn`t see it anymore that day...or since then. I keep looking though.

NUFORC Note:
