On may 28, 2020 at approximately 14:22 hours i observed an aircraft flying overheard and emitting an unusual contrail. the trail remained tightly formed and the aircraft was flying low enough that i could clearly see the engines. the plane seemed rather low to be emitting a trail. the trail was rolling in a circular fashion and extended between the horizons running west to east. i pulled into my driveway five minutes after first observing the aircraft. i stepped out my vehicle and snapped four pictures as "mysterious" contrails are a topic of discussion in my local area. the first two pictures were taken at normal range settings and the second two were zoomed in on the contrail. i do not known the degree of zoom. these pictures were taken at 14:28 hours. upon reviewing the pictures a short time later i discovered what appears to be a metallic object roughly 20 degrees "above" and 10 to 15 degrees left of the moon which is clearly visible in crescent form. the object does not appear in the following photographs. using pixlr.Com i was able to zoom into the photo(1000%) and see a cylindrical object appearing light "grey" in color with three bright "whitish" colors distinctly positioned on both sides of the object with a larger bright white portion on the "bottom end". the object did not admit any detectable exhaust or contrail. the air temperature was approximately 77 degrees at the time the photo was taken, and at an elevation of 2907 feet above sea level.
