1. i was in my back yard, relaxing in the morning. 2. it was still sort of dark, the sun hadn't fully risen, so it was pretty easy to see this thing against the dark sky. i also noticed that the light was different than that of an airplane or helicopter. 3. a drone, airplane, helicopter, or ufo. 4. the size of this thing was pretty big, it moved around in a zig-zag fashion. it was bright and glowing, it seemed like every time i looked up at it, it was brighter or bigger. it flew directly over where i was, hovered for three seconds or so, then just bolted into the clouds at lightning speed. wasn't see again after the incident. 5. i thought it was just a plane or helicopter, so i listened carefully and there was nothing there. i was a bit in shock, especially when it got so close to me. 6. after hovering over/near me for a couple of seconds, it launched right up into the side again, far past the clouds.
