NUFORC Sighting 126775

Occurred: 2016-04-08 17:00 Local
Reported: 2016-04-08 19:54 Pacific
Duration: 60 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Red Cross, NC, USA

Shape: Cigar

I saw a thin white cigar shape (no wings visible) in color moving slowy and quietly from north to south passsing between clouds.

I walked outside at 1700 on April 8, 2016. It was a sunny day with large bulky clouds and 70 degrees. Saw two buzzards circling and looked above them and noticed a thin white cigar shape quietly moving slowly between clouds.

The direction was from north to south and lasted about 60 seconds before I lost visibility.

Very strange because no sound was heard and no wings were seen. Usually a silver or metallic appearance is visible from a plane that low and wings should have been seen. If a pencil is held at arm's length, the eraser would provide an example of the size (width) of the shape seen this day.
