At 17:10 hrs I was driving west heading into downtown and had a clear view of the horizon. Off to the south I saw a silver cylindrical shape which was horizontal and appeared to be a jet but was moving very slowly as it moved across the horizon north it changed shape and became more like a "saucer" continuing north it flattened out, wavered back and forth sideways and the completely disappeared into thin air. The sky was completely blue. There were no clouds for the object to disappear behind. The object was flying in front of a mountain range which was visible behind the object.
