| Cane shaped object spinning slowly I saw in the sky what appeared initially to be a star, but it was too elongated, so I took my binoculars and saw a cylindrical shape, pinkish in color. The object remained static for more than half an hour, then it started to move extremely slowly, and get a little closer. I then saw through the binoculars that it was a cane-shaped object spinning slowly around its own axis, with a frequency of about 1 minute. The object was visible with the naked eye, and was below mid-level clouds, so I estimate an altitude between 10,000 and 20,000 feet. When closer it seemed to be composed of strings of spheres, but that could have been an optical artifact. I saw 3 airline planes fly in the general area. I took my eyes off it for a few seconds and lost contact; I scanned the sky for 10 minutes and could not find it again.
