Characteristics: Lights on object

We were traveling south on highway 99 passing through Ripon, CA . I was looking at the clouds against the beautiful color of blue sky. There were quite a few clouds towards the east. As I gazed on I had noticed something odd with what I initially thought to be a cloud. I continued to focus my attention on what I was seeing. I recall my mind processing several comparisons from my minds imaginary bank but quickly realized I had no match to what I was right then looking at. It was at this moment when I pointed out the car window and said to my husband and 17 year old son, “what is that?” I also started recording this object with my cell phone.

The object was to low to be an aircraft , to high to be a blimp and it was just there hovering. The object had no wings at all, it appeared to be whitish or silverish.

My husband noticed what I had pointed out and he could not identify this object either. My son had little interest in it at all , but he did look and he also seen it.

There isn’t anything in that area that would explain hat it was that we all just seen. I don’t know how long it remained motionless, as we lost sight of it by traveling.

I was able to capture a brief video recording of this object and from that video I was able to screenshot the object and zoom in for a better look at what it could be.

Much to our surprise, the pics did confirm what we had seen plus confirmed that the o next was not an airplane or blimp.
