Silver (with some dark grey) structure

While flying between SFO and KOA over the Pacific Ocean at apprx mid flight and cruising altitude, I saw a silver object at approx eye level. The simplest way to describe its general shape is that of the profile of the top half of the Seattle space needle but in silver color. Again I am describing this as a general shape. But it was predominately silver and some darker grey-silver too. I was scared when I saw it, I closed the window shade and then felt compelled to open it again and see it again a second time. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It just appeared stationary not flying up or down. I was really scared and just closed the window and tried to forget about.
