Extremely High speed unknown heading west over head after impossiblr turns above SoCal.

At 76 years old, my first UFO. There is a space between some trees that when I sit on the patio, I can observe the sky for miles...planes all the time...choppers and private aircraft and way up in elevation the big commercial birds. I know the speeds of each as well as the sounds.

Tonight, it was WAY different. I was looking direct east, watching a light (per usual) traveling south to north over the mountains (big hills) to the direct east. It was going pretty fast for something observed at that distance...it gained altitude then hung a hard right descended somewhat and made a hard left right toward my position at shocking speed...it was over head and heading due west faster than anything I've EVER seen...and silent. The round light of it was somewhat diffused as if behind clouds but the sky is clear though somewhat bright due to light pollution from the nearby small shopping center. It passed over my 2 story building and beyond sight and would have been over the ocean within seconds going due west.

One thing for sure...what ever it was, was BLAZING fast...impossibly so. It was an object...it was flying and it remains unknown. One more thing off the bucket list!
