It was about ten after eight in the evening on Sunday July 27th. I was outside at work taking a smoke break. I usually look up and scan the sky to see if I see anything unusual. It was mostly cloudy that day with a small chance of rain. I spotted what looked like a short contrail. In front of it was what I first thought was a plane. Then I noticed it didn't have wings and a tail. It was round. I got my phone out and took a picture of it. That was kind of hard to do cause the camera on my phone doesn't zoom very much and I really couldn't see it on the screen. It took about fifteen seconds to get a second picture of it before it went behind some clouds or it disappeared and I didn't see it anymore. I've always kept an open mind about UFOs and never have seen one before. I'm kind of dumbfounded by this experience because it's something I've never seen before and I don't know what it is. It's a weird feeling.I'm sending four pictures of the object. The first pic is when I first saw it. The second is the first pic cropped done on my phone for a closer view. The third pic is the object just before it goes behind the clouds. It's harder to see it in this pic. I don't know if it's because it's farther away or entering the hazy part of the clouds or it's disappearing. The fourth is the third pic cropped also for a closer view.
