SILVER UFO OVER CENTER DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO

IN MY TEENS,  EARLY 80s,  IN AFTERNOON,  I SAW 1000FT PLUS HIGH RIGHT OVER CENTRAL DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO,  MAYBE 200FT WIDE SHAPED LIKE A FOOTBALL, WOULD BE ROUND VIEWED FROM ABOVE OR BELOW COLORED BLAND SILVER METAL.  MY FATHER WOULD NOT STOP HIS YARD WORK TO LOOK AT IT!!  SAW IT FROM MY BACKYARD AND THEN FIRST FLOOR WINDOW..  BUT 30 SECONDS LATER WAS GONE BY THE TIME I GOT MY FATHERS BINOCULARS AND LOOKED FOR IT FROM 2ND FLOOR WINDOW, SO IT LEFT DARN FAST, SAW IT HOVERING MOTIONLESS FOR 10+ MINS, DID NOT SEE IT COME OR GO !.. I BET THE LINDBERG FIELD AIRPORT AND NORTH ISLAND NAVAL BASE NEARBY PROBABLY SAW IT THRU BINOCS AND RADAR !!    P.S.  DONT APPRECIATE THE OBVIOUS MULTIPLE CHINESE LANTERN REPORTS..
Witness indicates that the date is approximate.  PD
