NUFORC Sighting 40498

Occurred: 2004-11-07 16:30 Local
Reported: 2004-11-07 16:09 Pacific
Duration: 6 TO 10 SECS.
No of observers: 2

Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA

Shape: Cylinder


Silver cylindrical object; no wings; no vapor trail; no sound passing SE to NW just before sundown.

Before sunset; straight-line flight from SE to NW; silver; may have had reddish color at the leading end; no visible wings; no vapor trail; no discernable sound. It passed beneath the dispersed contrail of a jet, but appeared to be at some altitude(maybe 20,000 feet?). Object was 5 or 6 times longer than wide and blunt at each end. The rate of passage from my perspective was similar to a jet airplane, but the impression was that it was not being propelled so much as gliding. It was first spotted by my 5-year old grandson, who asked what it was. I looked up expecting to see an airplane.
