| Bright spherical object streaking west to east in skys over San Jose My son and I were sleeping in a tent in our backyard. The top of the tent was a screen and the skies were perfectly clear. At 10:15PM while looking up I saw what appeared to be a spherical object probably 1/8 size of the moon streak across the sky going west to east. It was not a shooting star and there was too much "shape" to it to be an Irridium flair. It had a very white magnesium/titanium color to it. It was almost blindingly bright. Absolutely no noise. It seemed much closer to the ground than jets and other aircraft that I saw in the sky throughout the night. |
