NUFORC Sighting 72628

Occurred: 2009-09-26 17:50 Local
Reported: 2009-09-26 21:47 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Millbrae, CA, USA

Shape: Circle

I was driving down 101 US South today heading towards the Millbrae exit and to my left I saw planes as usual as the SFO airport is right there.. then I saw this extremely shiny metallic object in the air and as I got closer I observed that it was donut shaped and since I was moving at 65mph and passed it I am guessing it was hovering in the sky. It was also moving left to right which was causing it to reflect sun off of it. I almost thought it was some advertising mechanism for a car dealership but then I realized it was moving too consistenly and was too high up.. and it was next to the airport and I'm assuming there's no car dealerships there nor any clearance for objects like kites or promotional balloons to be allowed up there.

I definitely saw this metallic donut object, but I'm not sure if it's part of the control tower or airport somehow .. it seems almost surreal.

I couldn't observe it too long as I was on the highway and I exited and tried to find it again to no avail.
