My wife and I were star gazing at approximately 10 to on September 1, 2010.

At about 10:10pm with a crystal clear sky, I noticed a round kind of dark dot in the sky to the west. I pointed this out to my wife and she saw it immediately. The object came closer and closer and it appeared to be an irregular shape, the shape of a police badge. No lights were on this object and it did not make any noise.

As it went overhead we could see that it was a subdued color illuminated by the reflection of the city lights. It looked to be a muddy, brown color. From our point of view, it seemed to be very large, moving in the horizon. It quickly left our view, moving a west-to-east direction. We saw the bottom of the object as it went over us. It looked eerie; it was a muddy brown color with a little pink reflected from the city lights. It went directly overhead and it was definitely an irregular shape, the shape of a police badge. The whole spotting time was approximately 1½ to 2 minutes in duration.

It was going horizon to horizon and looked like the size of a full moon. The trajectory was close to perfect, going west to east.

The next morning I spent my time on the phone trying to see if anyone else had reported anything, so far I haven’t heard anything.
