Two silver white cylinders moving way to fast for a blimp I probably wouldn't have seen them if I hadn't been clearing brush and trimming trees, looked up at some of my handiwork and there it was. A silvery, whiteish colored cylinder rounded on both ends flying north to south, thought it was a jet banking as there were no wings visible. It didn't come out of a bank and continued to fly due south, from the rear before the tree's blocked the view it just looked like a round ball. While I am pondering what I had just seen another craft just like it followed the same path and at the same speed. My impression was that they were about the same length as a 747 but about three times the diameter, flying at about 15000 ft. somewhere between 200-400 mph. I watched the sky for a while after that, was able to make out wings or tailfins on jets I saw even when they were at altitudes high enough to leave a short contrail, also could hear the jet sounds of all the jets I watched even the one flying south with the wind. The ufo's left no contrail and made no sound that I could hear. If they are a new blimp, cudo's to US, very fast for a blimp. I thought I could see a dark aura , sort of pointed, above and below craft, may have been an illusion as I hadn't been looking at the sky before the sighting.

Two silver white cylinders moving way to fast for a blimp

I probably wouldn't have seen them if I hadn't been clearing brush and trimming trees, looked up at some of my handiwork and there it was. A silvery, whiteish colored cylinder rounded on both ends flying north to south, thought it was a jet banking as there were no wings visible. It didn't come out of a bank and continued to fly due south, from the rear before the tree's blocked the view it just looked like a round ball. While I am pondering what I had just seen another craft just like it followed the same path and at the same speed. My impression was that they were about the same length as a 747 but about three times the diameter, flying at about 15000 ft. somewhere between 200-400 mph.

I watched the sky for a while after that, was able to make out wings or tailfins on jets I saw even when they were at altitudes high enough to leave a short contrail, also could hear the jet sounds of all the jets I watched even the one flying south with the wind. The ufo's left no contrail and made no sound that I could hear. If they are a new blimp, cudo's to US, very fast for a blimp.
