I was in my driveway having a cigarette with 2 friends (also witnesses) & looked over the roof line of the house to find a shining object flying overhead. we live in akron & have witnessed the goodyear blimp, a couple of military drones, commercial"toy" drones, planes on takeoff/landing, etc. this is nothing like anything we've seen - ever. originally we tried rationalizing it to be a plane or a drone - but it had no wings, rudder, stabilizer, or lifter. it wasn't a blimp because it moved too fast & was flying too high. in fact, it seemed to move far faster than a blimp or plane (commercial or military). it looked almost cigar shaped then we noticed in various still photos that it was also sort of "saucer" shaped. it made no sound & left no trail. we didn't observe lights, persay, but there are moments when the entire thing seemed to be really shiny & metallic then black then white. it was either reflecting light or was silver/made of shiny metal. when it would change to black or white, it appeared to change shape but we have no clear image or view to confirm that. we lost sight of it when it went over the trees headed west. it was unnerving & left us completely baffled. during the event we were all excited but nervous. afterwards we were a bit unsettled because the gravity of the situation sank in slowly. i made a joke that since i've recently begun really watching ufo shows & documentaries maybe they're checking me out. oddly, i woke up 3 days later with a black eye (i'd suffered no trauma, participated in no altercations, & don't have a medical condition to explain it.).
