it was approximately 6:15 a.m. 09-24-2014 I stepped out the door facing north looked up to see if it was cloudy or not I observed a thin cloud layer whereas I saw an orange object moving from north to south I was immediately intrigued so quickly went into the garage and grabbed a pair of binoculars,by the time I got back outside the object was over head.I quickly focused the binocs on the craft and saw a steady orange craft at least 500 feet long, I saw two red strobe lights at the front and one white strobe at the rear of this craft.i observed no wings and there was no sound.I was in the aircraft manufacturing business as a machinist for well over twenty years and grew up next door to Carswell A.F.b in f.w. Texas ,I,am well aware of what airplanes look like even in in a thin cloud layer,also an amateur astronomer for over forty years.when the craft got about a mile to the south of my position with unaided eye there was a white flash and it was gone.
