Dark Gray Metallic Sphere Flying at Constant Speed across LA

I only just found this site, hence my very late posting, and also my best guesstimate of the date in late November 2014 that the event occurred.

My fiancé and I saw a craft on a perfect sunny and clear Sunday afternoon that we have failed to find any information on it, and wonder if you can help give us an understanding as to what it was.

The craft was a flat metallic grey sphere about thiry-five to forty feet in diameter. It appeared to be unpolished titanium, had no windows, no lights, and was completely silent.
It traveled at a constant speed, about the speed of a fast moving Bell Jet Ranger, which we see a lot of here, so approximately 140-150mph, When I first saw it I thought it was a helicopter but I couldn't see any blades. I pointed it out to my other half, and we looked at it as it came right towards us. It was flying at no more than 1500ft, and at a constant speed, passing by in total silence at around 150mph. At its closest it was no more than 1/8-1/4 mile from us. It was a perfect blue sky LA afternoon with low afternoon autumn sun perfectly illuminating it, so it was absolutely clear what it was.

We live on the Santa Monica Mountains with a very open 180º panoramic view out over the entire LA Basin, and this craft quite literally flew along Sunset Boulevard. For days after the event we searched the internet to see if there were any other reports of it, but found nothing.

What neither of us can understand is how a craft can fly through such a densely populated area and be completely unreported.
