Shape: Sphere
Duration:10second
9-01-09, San Pedro Calif. Sphere, white in color duration 10 seconds, moving at a medium speed

I was sitting in my patio and was looking at the moon and the planet below it. At first I thought I saw a satellite, and it was not a bright light like you see on a plane.

I saw a sphere, fluorescent white in color travelling from the east at a southerly direction just below another star(approximately at 125degrees)just to the left of the moon. It passed underneath it and disappeared. What I find amazing is that the star it passed under was no longer there thirty minutes later. That object, which I thought was a star was not moving at all. How can that be? I know for sure there was a star there, because I kept looking at the moon and I believe it's Venus just below the moon. I was using the moon as my observation point.
