An unidentified object seen flying through the high desert of Victorville, California.

Earlier Saturday morning, I went outside to see if I can see any of the Perseid meteors. After seeing a few, I continued to scan the sky and looked straight up. Somewhere around Andromeda and Pegasus, I see this "star" or so I thought it was, start moving. I watched it for a few seconds, blinked to refocus, and still seen that it was moving. It moved in a straight line, slowly, no tail or tracer, not blinking, just white, small, and very dim but bright enough to be seen. Definitely an unidentified object, nothing I've ever seen before. It continued for about half a minute, maybe a little longer. Quickly, I called out to my wife, her sister, and brother-in-law. Luckily, my wife and brother-in-law was able to see it in the direction I was pointing. They spotted it and followed until it disappeared towards Auriga and Gemini. It was definitely too high for ordinary aircraft. Very weird and an amazing event to have captured with our naked eyes.
