Is it possible that it was actually larger than a pillow, but that it seemed small to a child of seven? I mean, when we look at an airplane that is up in the sky, it looks small, but we know it is actually huge. A young child might not be able to distinguish size in relation to the sky and surroundings.
What you saw sounds very much like something my daughter and her boyfriend saw while driving home from a movie at night last summer, along the coast. The only difference is that what they saw was round and descended from the sky to hover a bit above the water before speeding off. It was yellow and glowed brightly in the dark sky.
Very interesting..
