Shape: Cigar | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

I was outside playing football with my brother when I noticed a cigar shaped object in the sky to my Northeast. I watched it for as long as I could, travel from Northeast to Southeast before losing it behind a tree that blocked my view. I first noticed the object when I was looking up to catch a football thrown by my brother.I thought at first it may have been a cargo plane as we are within 10 miles of a regional airport, and am used to seeing planes at different times of the day and different types of airplanes coming into the airport. The object was shaped like a cigar that seemed to be reflective and it had a darker band around the middle of the cigar. There were no wings or any type of flight control that I could see. The object did not have any discernable sound that I could hear, or any kind of vapor trail that I could see. The weather in our area was clear skies, about 75 degrees F. Humidity is unknown. The object seemed to be on a straight line path from Northeast to Southeast. Speed of the object is unknown due to not knowing the exact distance or knowing the scale of the object. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing, and I tried to see if I could see a tail section or wings on the object. As I was looking at the UFO, my little brother turned to look in that direction too and he also witnessed it.
