Full Description & DetailsWe had time enough to get our 7.5 power binocs and I was able to get a short look at it as it passed over us. Even with the binoculars, it seemed too high to see much detail. We did all agree on the following points; It had roughly the dimensions of a shoebox, that is, 2 and a half times as long as it was wide. To me it looked like a wide diamond shape with all its points cut off and my son said it had more rounded edges and seemed to have two differant surfaces, one being yellow. It had no blinking lights or protruding wings. the front was no more pointed or narrower than the rear. I would make the following estimates; The size of a large school bus, altitude, 10 to 12 thousand feet, speed definitly sub sonic, maybe 400 to 450 mph.(cruising speed of an airliner). No sound whatever and no obvious vapour trail or afterburn. It was comming in from the west over San Pablo bay with Marin county behind it and going eastwards. That is roughly in the direction of Travis AF base.
