It was stationary in the skyline approximately somewhere above 30 thousand feet, bright, silver, and no identifying markers or lights.

I arrived home from the Walgreens at approximately 3:34pm according to the app I use to record my driving and upon exiting my vehicle, I turned towards my house and immediately noticed the bright half moon in the sky. For some reason it caught my attention and stood in my driveway for a brief moment until I noticed the bright liver object to the left of the moon high in the atmosphere. I thought at first it may have been a star or a satellite but ran into the house to get my Sig Sauer 10x42 binoculars and went out to my patio to get a closer look. I orientated at the moon and zoomed in to get a clear picture and from that point I traversed left to where I had last seen the object. I was able to find it and get a clear view. It was located at 75 degrees NE from my location to the left of the moon. It was at this very moment that all the neighborhood dogs started barking and birds began to chirp which I had never experienced since I've lived here. another odd observation is that it was a clear and sunny day but during this event a light haze filled the sky and cleared shortly after it disappeared. When I knew I was looking at a UAP described as a spherical chrome like object hovering at high altitude I wanted to get a tripod and my cell phone to capture video but just as I was about to as if it knew what I was about to do, it literally shot out of sight in what could have been a reveresd direction with no chem trails, sounds or lights. I don't know if this is related but I noticed an unusual amount of high altitude aircraft flying in all direction shortly after the sighting to the right of the moon. I have seen UAP's before in my childhood in Whittier (Major event 80's), California, on I-15 en-route to Vegas, Victorville, CA and in Iraq. I see high altitude flying aircraft in the Arizona night sky that defies explanation often. This is the first time since I was a kid that I have witnessed a UAP during the day.
