NARRATIVE

I was driving, headed from the I-405 towards Ocean Ave on Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, CA around 4:00pm. It was a bright sunny afternoon with no clouds in the sky, and suddenly in front of my car maybe 50 ft above the tree line I saw a perfectly spherical orb hovering. It was almost black against the sky, but had a slight metallic sheen to the surface. It was hard to tell whether or not it was moving, but it appeared to be hovering at a fixed altitude as I was driving. It quickly passed out of my view as I was realizing what I was looking at, and when I looked behind me expecting to see it in my rear view as I kept going, it was gone. I didn't see it again.
