Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Fairfax, CA, USA
Location details: In the western sky, about 20 degrees above horizon, moving towards the south at a slow pace

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

In the early evening I saw a cigar-shaped object.It had many blinking white lights, with some stationary. It moved slowly.

It wasn't a clear nite. There were a few clouds in the nite sky. In the western sky,I noticed a low flying object. Long and flying slowly from North to south-south-east.

It seemed quite large. Hard to gauge, but perhaps 1/2 mile to a mile long. While the shape appeared to have a cylinder /cigar shape, the outline and object seemed amorphous. The white lights on the edges of the craft were asymmetrical as the blinking lights created a flowing pattern that made the object seem alive. There were no sounds. About 10-15 minutes after the sighting I heard jets flying over the same path, but much higher in the sky.
