LARGE HIGH BRIGHT WHITE STATIONARY THEN MOVING

AROUND 6:00 PM, LYING ON MY BACK RELAXING NEXT TO POOL, WITH NEIGHBOR SWIMMING IN POOL. PERFECTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LOTS OF AIRCRAFT BEFORE AND AFTER. I SAW A PLANE THAT SEEMED TO BE FAR BELOW IT. MOVING FAST BUT THIS OTHER THING WAS NO MOVING.

SAW BRIGHT WHITE OBJECT VERY HIGH, LOOKED LARGE, MOTIONLESS,. DIRECTLY ABOVE NORTH EAST ATLANTA. TOO FAR AWAY TO SEE ITS SHAPE BUT IT STOOD OUT AS IT WAS NOT MOVING FOR 2 COMPLETE MINUTES WHILE I WATCHED IT. DURING THIS 2 MINUTES I POINTED OUT THE OBJECT TO MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, HE ALSO WITNESSED IT.

I THEN WENT INSIDE TO GET BINOCULARS EXPECTING TO SEE A BALLOON- COULD NOT FIND THEM SPENT ABOUT 3 MINS SEARCHING - WHEN I CAME OUT IT WAS GONE . NEIGHBOR SAID IT STARTED TO FLY SW AND DISSAPPEARED FROM SIGHT AS IT WENT HIGHER AND HIGHER - GOT SMALLER AND SMALLER - HE SWEARS TO THIS.

NO CONTRAIL AT ALL. BUT FLASHING LIGHTS - DAYLIGHT, FULL SUN.

HE COULD BE FOOLING ME BUT I WITNESSED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A VERY LARGE VERY FAR AWAY OBJECT - RECTANGULAR SHAPED - NOT MOVING AND IT WAS VERY VERY STRANGE.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS PROBABLY MAN MADE OBJECT I SAW YESTERDAY - FLYING VERY HIGH - TOO HIGH FOR A HELICOPTER? OVER ATLANTA.? I AM SURE IT WAS EXPLAINABLE.
