What apeared to be a white dot in a clear blue sky, was acually a sagnificant size unknown aircraft reflecting the sun
I happened to be looking west over the mountains and noticed there was an aircraft traveling south with the normal exhaust trail coming from behind the plane. Then what looked like a white dot: appeared about 100 meters from behind the plane moving west. This unknown aircraft was moving at a pretty good rate of speed and had no exhaust trail of any kind. Watching this unknown aircraft as it moved I realized that what appeared to be a white object, was the reflection from the sun, and had to be a significant size to give off that amount of glare. This unknown aircraft continued to travel west as it disappeared for few seconds a couple of times. Than returned in the same flight path heading west. There were no clouds in the sky or area that would obscure my sight. I watched this unknown aircraft for a good ten to fifteen seconds before it completely disappeared 50 meters or more before the ridge line. Four or five seconds after the unknown aircraft disappeared. There was a small exhaust trail 50 meters to the south of where the unknown aircraft was last seen coming over the ridge line traveling east. The unknown aircraft did not appear again.
