Tiny object high in the blue afternoon sky, remaining motionless for 5 minutes
My husband and I were walking down the street when he pointed out a tiny white speck at an extremely high altitude up in the blue sky. It was completely stationary and remained so for at least five minutes. This was not a cloud. Although it was small it was a clearly defined object. I don't think many people had even seen it- you had to look very carefully.
The strange thing is that my husband has seen the exact same thing about 3 years ago in Seattle. He was looking out of his bedroom window when he noticed a white object high in the clear blue sky. It hung motionless. He grabbed his video camera and zoomed in. It appeared to be a white circular shaped object After a couple of minutes it seemed to change into a series of 5 smaller discs, which rotated in a circular formation and moved ever so slowly , (still stopping and hanging in space once in awhile,) out of the range of the camera. (He still has this film but has never sent it in anywhere.) When I first watched it I was in total disbelief. I have never seen anything like it.
My husband had kind of passed it off as just a weird unexplained singular event, but yesterday when both of us witnessed the same thing his previous experience seemed to have more credibility.
We're very curious about what we witnessed. Does this sound like some kind of satellite? Wouldn't it be moving across the sky steadily, and are satellites so visible during the day?

Dear Peter,
All the information I can provide is that from the Richmond District of San Francisco (about a half mile
north of Golden Gate Park) it was north/ northeast. We were standing at about sea level and its elevation we cannot estimate, although it was extremely high in the sky, more than a mile at the very least. My husband actually says he saw it about 20 minutes earlier when he stepped outside the restaurant we were eating in. Then when we stepped out, he pointed it out to me. So it was there for at least half an hour, not merely five minutes.
My father is an airline captain in Seattle as well (he flies for World Airways) and says he has never
seen anything like what we described.
Thanks for sending along your report! And my husband is now vowing to take our video camera along with us more often when we go out. :-)
Best Regards,
((witness name deleted))
