well, 10-15 seconds, but no more, but I didn't clock it. I was sitting outside at a friends house in So. CA and we had been watching wildlife with binoculars--I had time to pick up the 7x50s and determine that the craft was white in color, had twin vertical stabilizers and a wing shape consistent with Snow Bird. The stabilizers were the last items I saw as it went over the horizon. We heard and felt the booms as it went over the horizon, so it was really moving. I can only guess at the altitude; above 35,000 ft. Saw a 747 a few minutes later and it looked larger through the binoc's.
