Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Lakewood / Golden, CO, USA
Location details: Object over the federal center and moving to the west

Shape: Rectangle
Explanation: Balloon - Possible

Black object, rectangular shape, approximately 500 feet above ground moving west slowly.

Went to a restaurant in Lakewood, when I noticed an odd object in the sky as I approached the doors of restaurant. Studied it closely and noticed no gondola, so ruled out balloon. Color was black and rectangular in shape, ruling out weather balloon as well. No sound, but object appeared to be approximately 1/2 mile from me. Sky was clear, so I took two pictures with my cell phone as I watched it to the southwest of my position moving west. Sun was above me and to my left, not interferring with the photos. Snapped shots and returned to the restaurant.
