Vertical above view of disk over remote lake with erratic movement on approach to DIA
Inbound from Tampa on TED/United flight approaching DIA just given clearance to 10K ft (headphones on listening to controllers/pilots) - est 10K ft altitude achieved at sighting. Estimate approach to DIA from SE. Sighting over small lake - no homes, roads, or activity in the vacinity (verified after detection). Lake 1/3 covered with surface ice. Sighting angle sharp (near vertical) forward of starboard wing/engine. Object perfect white (dull) circle over water/ice with instantaneous right angle turn and unnerving movement. Object obviously low in altitude over the lake. Short viewing time due to sharp angle. No other observers to my knowledge - viewing only possible from "window seat".
