me and my boyfriend saw this in the sky today in the Clovis, CA area. it wasn't a plane because there was no line behind it, and at first we thought it was a balloon but it's definitely not. could this be a drone for google earth or something? thanks for the help.

You mean a contrail? Not all planes will have one. They have to be fairly high and in the right conditions to leave one.

Why wouldn’t it be a balloon? Maybe the letter O. I don’t know of any drones that have a hole in the middle.
Any video or non-zoomed pics? How was it moving? Did you watch until it “left”? How long were you watching it?
