As the (rectangular) object went from south to north I recall the proportions as being similar to a cell phone. The surface "radiated" and was a pinkish-orange with "waves" or "ripples" moving from my left-to-right which was from its longer dimention/sides. The narrow front/rear was the part going forward from south to north. I was so spellbound and busy trying to figure out what I was seeing that I didn't follow it any further than when it was directly over me (although slightly to the left/east). I seemed not to care where it went; just, what the bleep is/was that. Moments after, I went inside and reported "it" to my wife. To this day, she says that she's never seen "that look" on my face when I came into the house. That's not like me. Also what's not like me is to not have gotten up of my chair and called my wife to witness all "this".
