My middle son and I were in the backyard working on mowing. My son was finishing push mowing the last 3rd of the yard and my oldest son came outside and spotted the vessel slowly passing by silently, up at about a 50 -60 degrees from the horizon. My middle son got done mowing and came to see what we were looking at. My oldest son said we should take a picture but my camera phone couldn't see it because the sky was so blue that you couldn't see it on the view finder. So my son suggested getting the telescope, so I ran into my garage and got the telescope. I looked through the aiming scope on the side to aim the telescope at the object. I looked at it through the telescope and it was cylinder shaped and chrome-like. I couldn't see windows. There were no wings and no visible means of propulsion. It made no sounds. Through the telescope you could see it was clearly solid and metallic. I couldn't see insignia or writing anywhere on it. It was smooth and the ends were rounded not flat but it was cylinder shaped between the ends. After observing the object through the telescope for about 15 seconds, it took off and was out of sight in about 3-4 seconds. I posted on Facebook about it and there was another witness seeing it flying to the NW away from us toward Fort Wayne, IN. My neighbor's mother was out but she is pretty old and needed a walker. She didn't see it herself but seen our reaction. She mentioned that back in the 1940s and 1950s they [herself and others] seen many UFOs that flew around our area all the time back then. Many that flew much faster than the planes of the time.
