Bright white aluminum half-spherical object

Draftsman at home using high-power binoculars to watch an L-6 aircraft at 10,000 foot altitude at 60° elevation to the southeast traveling 100 mph, for Air Force Day, saw a bright white-aluminum half-spherical object traveling the opposite direction in level flight at about 20,000 foot altitude 2-1/2 miles away ground distance at 100-150 mph heading south, no trail, lost when he tried to view it without binoculars. Object appeared to be 1/3 size of the L-6 (35.5 feet) but 2x the distance, or about 24 feet.


One ball was observed by one witness with binoculars for under ten minutes.
