Abruptly maneuvering black object hovers over Ventura County, CA, displaces cloud formations 12/06/02

Single dark/black object that changed shape from a disc to an ovoid as it moved. Object moved south over Ventura County, California at 16:10 to 16:13 at approximately 10-15,000 altitude, then the object hovered in one area from 16:13 to 16:18. During hover object made several unusually tight (seemingly) uncontrolled maneuvers, and this is when the object changed shape from a disc to an ovoid.
