Object below port side wing of commercial airline

Silver flying object on port side of aircraft at approximately 25,000 feet. Size was approximately 60 feet long. No wings. Traveled in the same direction as the commercial aircraft for approximately 8-10 minutes then made a sudden change in direction at 45 degrees aft and was out of view within 2 seconds. Incredible rate of acceleration. Looked like a pill shape. The reflection of the sun made it difficult to observe fine details in the body but it did not have traditional aircraft wings keeping it aloft. Saw it heading west while I was on board the aircraft as we were descending into San Francisco. Probably around Modesto.
