I saw a spherical object traveling east to west at 3PM. It appeared to change from white to black to silver and flew below the clouds.
At about 3:00PM in the town of Bodie which has an elevation of 8,000 ft I was taking a light meter reading of the sky and noticed a spherical object. It was in the east just north of being over head. I watched it move from the east until it was out of sight in the west. It travelled just below the cloud level which appeared to be at the height of the Sierra Nevada mountains, about 12,000 ft. The clouds were moving west to east. I watched it for about 2 minutes, at its closest it was 3/16 inch in diameter at arms lenght. It travelled in a straight line at a constant speed. It made no sound. It appeared to change color from white to black and back to white like it was winking, and when it moved in line with the sun it reflected light like silver metal also winking. I work for the Post Office and I was on vacation taking photographs. Unfortunately I was unable to take a picture because I use a 4by5 view camera. A freind of mine also whitnessed the event.
