Metalic ball floating motionless in high winds over San Jose, CA.
I was driving down the interstate between San Jose, CA and Cupertino, CA on a day that looked like it was going to storm and there were very high winds. I looked at the sky because the clouds were so menacing and saw a stationary spherical object staying motionless about 1000 feet up in the sky as if were on a tether, but it was much too windy for that. The object reminded me of an old World War II floating mine--a metal ball with "sticks" protruding out from it. It was defenitely metallic, and was so shocking to see that I pulled off the freeway and watched it for about 10 minutes trying to figure out what it was. It eventually moved away and up into the clouds fairly slowly until I could no longer see it.
