Full Description & Details

We watched a round object in the sky that did not move for approx. 7 min. and we watched it for 8 mi. on I-64 near Afton Mt. in Augusta Co., Va. The object was sitting at the apex of two jet contrails that may have been 5 to 8 mi. away at a height of approx. 28K to 21K feet. We first saw it when we left the top of Afton Mt.west bound and it was still in the same position when we reached the exit at Waynsboro, Va. We later timed the distance from where we first saw it to where we last saw it and it was 7 min. We went behind a enbankment on I-64 westbound and it was gone when we came to an area where we could see the jetstreams again. It was many times larger than an airplane and it did not move while we were observing it. It was 2 yrs. before my friend or I had the nerve to tell anyone about it because of the fear of ridicule. The object looked like a silver hub cap standing on it's end and it was hugh.

What we saw was definately metalic,round and very large. We don't know how it could hang in the sky with no movement for that long. The amazing thing was that it was located exactly in the apex of the crossing jet trails and no other clouds were anywhere in site nor were there any other jet streams. One jet stream was trailing a course that was from the Charlotte, NC area toward Pittsburg area and the other was in a direction from the Washington area to Atlanta area. I travel a lot and these jet streams were at the height for intermediate distance flights (18K to 23K ft). I would estimate their verticle location would have been over I-81 about 8 mi. south of Staunton, Va.
