Cigar shaped object seen over Austin, Texas flying from West to East

This sighting of a UFO occurred on Friday, November 6, 2009 at 4:05PM Central Time. It was while my daughter and I had driven into the McNeil High School parking lot to pick up my son after school that my daughter observed a strange object in the sky. She asked me what it was as it was getting closer to us, and I looked at it carefully before responding because I didn’t want to make more of it than was necessary in case it was an identifiable craft. However, upon close inspection, I could not see a tail fin or wings on what appeared to be a cigar shaped object, slightly larger in the front, and made up of two colors, orange and silver. The object was moving from a West to East direction in a fairly straight line, about 2 miles up in the air. I opened the car window to get a clearer view, and did not hear any sound. There was no contrail or anything else to suggest this object was “normal”. It was moving about the same speed as what you would expect an! airplane, except it looked much smaller than a plane, and as I said, did not have wings. I managed to snap two pictures out of the car window (no glass or obstruction of the shot) which I'll be happy to send to you as a reply to acknowledgement of receipt of this report. The camera used is a Canon PowerShot SD890 IS Digital Elph. A little while later, I did notice an airplane flying by on approach to Austin’s Bergsrom International Airport, and it was clearly much bigger and the wings were clearly visible, and the sound was clearly audible, a stark contrast to the unusual object we had just witnessed.
