On 8/14/13 at around 9pm I was taking garbage out at work. I looked up at the sky and saw a bright rose/pink light very slowly moving northwest above cloud level. It slowly dimmed as it was moving. At first I thought it was a satellite but after it dimmed completely out, I could make out a dark colored craft. The craft had no lights It was about the size of a grain of rice held at arms length but shaped more like a triangle. It slowly disappeared in the distance above the clouds.
