Cigar or oblong shaped object, just sat there in orange and reddish brown clouds. Never did anything and we went to bed.

I was curious about some of the 1970's sightings. I was party to one of them but for whatever reason our family of five (all witness) never reported or talked about it until recently when more people and shows began investigating some of the strange phenomena. I was a cigar like shape surrounded by orange, brown and reddish clouds or "smoke". It was large and long and just sat there doing absolutely nothing. In fact after a few snapshots (which did not develop, we had a regular fast shutter speed camera), we got a bit bored and went inside I believe. It went away and we never saw it again. It was in San Gabriel, California and seemed so close we could touch it if we had climbed a large tree. This is the only way I could describe it from a child's memory, but I still remember it clearly, but not exactly afterwards. We headed for bed after waiting for a long time for it to do something. I am very curious to know if anyone has ever seen this type of UFO in the past or recently.
