Floating Shining Cylinder shape with wings

July 11, 2023: 9:15 am -9:30 am; I was at my home, in my backyard. Looking out toward the west: I spotted a great white egret bird flying and was amazed at how high it could fly. Then, I saw an unusual floating shining cylinder shape (I used my bird watching binoculars... it isn't that powerful but I can tell it is a cylinder shape, standing upright and has reflection's "wings.") It is much farther up above the marine low clouds that have been broken up since this morning. Sometimes it stays still and then moves away. It moved near the moon and floated southward then it stayed there for a while, then it moved more north until I lost vision because of clouds and then sunshine. I was trying to find it again by looking northeast where I last saw the cylinder object. A little later, 6 military jet planes, flew in rows from west to east (northern side of me.) I think it was F-15s. That was at 9:50 am. As of 10:00 am, I still do not find the shining cylinder and more fluffy light clouds are appearing to block my viewing. Photos taken with my iPhone 11. Not the best with the zoom. I took a picture when it was shining the most. My gut tells me that it was some kind of spy drone.
