Eye Question for the Docs

This has now happened twice. First time was a few months ago, last time was 2 days ago. Both times were early morning just after I got out of bed. It started as a small, floater-looking speck and quickly grew. The best way I can describe it is it looked like crumpled tin foil but mostly transparent. It had motion like melted butter in a hot pan. It grew quickly and was irregular shaped. At max size it covered about 30% of my vision. When it began to fade, the center went away first and eventually the outer edge was the only thing left and was very shiny. It was located a just left of my field of vision, about 10 o’clock, about midway between center and max outer edge. It was stationary and I could see it with my eyes closed. The entire episode lasted about an hour. If it happened while driving I’d certainly pull over. I’ve always had excellent vision and just began wearing reading glasses 5 years ago.
Good health, not diabetic, normal bp.
