flying drone in broad daylight in a rural area
I was completing a property Inspection using my drone. Taking photos. It was at 12:30pm. Sunny day with limited cloud cover. Rural mountain property. As I was flying my drone higher, straight above the property with the camera pointing downward facing the ground, I saw a spherical shaped object appear. It was about 100 feet above the tree line on the mountainside maybe 400-600 yards to the southwest of where I was standing. It was stationary and the sun was reflecting off of it. It looked like metallic polished steel or aluminum. It was as if it emerged to investigate what the drone was or what it was doing. It was visible for maybe 5-10 seconds. I stood there staring for several seconds and then frantically tried to reorient the drone camera gimbal and reposition the drone to take a photo or video of it but then it vanished.
