Shape: Cigar


Slow moving Cigar shaped object sighted while waiting for 2005 Macy's fireworks to begin from a distance of 10-15 miles

I was standing on the roof of a building in Lefrak City Queens, NY approximately 18 stories high, waiting for the Macy's fireworks to begin and I was taking snapshots of the Manhattan skyline in the distance. I was approximately 15 miles from Manhattan. I can't guess from the photos how far the object was positioned from where I took the photo. I believe it may be more than 10 miles which would lead me to believe it was a very large object. It appeared to be moving slowly across the sky. I took two photos 3 minutes apart. I believe the speed could be determined by the relation of the object to the rooftops of buildings and the time between shots.
