I went out after dinner to smoke. The approach to the San Jose Airport is almost directly above my roof, and there's always a queue of planes.

I looked to my left and saw what I thought was a very low plane heading straight for my location.

My next thought was that it didn't make sense. I've never seen a plane approach from this direction. After a few seconds, I realized that he wasn't moving at all. It hovered in one place, perhaps with a slight wobble. 

It looked like a bright white light, bordered by a multicolored aura, to say the least. I watched it with bewilderment for about 15 minutes, looking through binoculars and trying to find landmarks to see if it was moving. Then a friend accidentally walked in. 

I showed him what I saw, and his first comment was:

"It's not moving. What the hell is this?»

We watched it for another ten minutes or so, then went inside thirty minutes later, we went out to smoke and check out the mysterious light, and it was gone. I even went to the other side of the building to see if it was for some reason a bright Venus or something, if it was moving along with the rotation, but there was nothing. No footprints! an orbiting object? Just another dizzying pain.

I know I'm not crazy, delusional, hallucinating, or attention-seeking. I also don't know of any aircraft that can hover without movement or sound, and certainly not one that makes a ninety-degree turn and doesn't disappear, so I believe it can only be one.

Summary: I went out after dinner for a smoke. The approach for San Jose Airport runs pretty much right over my roof and there is always a line of planes coming in. I looked to my left and saw what I thought was a plane very low and heading directly towards my location. My next thought was this didn’t make sense .I’d never seen a plane approach from that direction. After a few moments I realized it wasn’t moving at all. It was hovering in one spot, possibly with a slight swaying motion. It appeared as a bright white light edged with a multi- colored aura for lack of a better word. I watched it ,puzzled, for about 15 minutes, looked at it with binoculars and tried to find landmarks to see if it was moving. Then, a friend happened to stop by. I showed him what I saw and his first comment was ” that things not moving. What the hell is that” We watched it for another ten minutes or so, then went inside thirty minutes later, we went out to have a smoke and check on the mystery light and it was gone. I even went to the other side of the building to see if, by some chance it was a bright Venus or something, whether it had moved with the rotation but there was nothing . No trace anywhere around of an! orbiting object. Just another head scratchier. know I am not a crackpot, delusional, hallucinating, or seeking attention. I am also unaware of any aircraft that can hover, with no movement or sound , and certainly not one that makes ninety degree turns an disappears so I believe it can be only one thing.
