Location: Gaios, Paxos (Hellenic Republic),
Shape: Cigar
Duration:40 seconds
One mile NW of Gaios,Paxos,Corfu,Greece.

Large white cigar shaped object at high altitude. Possibly three times the length of a regular passenger jet and travelling north at a speed of between 800-1000 mph. Roughly 35,000 ft high. It left no contrails, and reflected sunlight.

It had no wings at all. I was able to get a closer look using a basic pair of binoculars and believe both ends of the 'cigar' were rounded. No navigation lights of any sort.

I was unable to regain sight of the 'cigar' after it disapeared behind chimney smoke from a neighboring villa. As though it just vanished into nowhere?
