Traveling by car at an altitude of 11,000 feet in the Andes, a large "silver" mass slowly flew in front of us, not much higher than the road level. 

We stopped and looked around, but we couldn't see anything in the air or on the mountain. My friend and I saw the object, I have a bachelor's and master's degree in history, and I worked as a teacher for 38 years. the other is a doctor, a surgeon for many years. I'm an American living in Florida, and he's from Ecuador. 

We were driving from Cuenca, Ecuador, over the Andes Mountains. to the coastal city of Guayaquil in the middle of the night. At the time, the doctor's doctor's son was asleep in the back seat, and we tried to wake him up when we witnessed the event, but before we could get his attention, the object disappeared, so as far as I remember, the duration of our observation was short. 

My friend and I sat there for a few minutes, rather shocked or incredulous, and continued our journey. I did not tell him that I had seen such things in the Rocky Mountains. USA a few years earlier.
