Cylindrical, capsule shaped silver object seen flying near Denver International Airport.
I am a taxi driver who makes multiple trips to Denver International Airport daily. I am very familiar, therefore, with what planes look like from various angles, altitudes,and speeds as they land and take off from the airport.
On Monday, 07/06/20, at about 12:15pm I was driving a customer to the airport when I saw an object unlike anything I have ever seen before.
It was traveling from south to north and the altitude seemed quite low. This was in Denver International Airport airspace and was at about the altitude a plane would have been in about 5-10 seconds after takeoff. However, this object was not landing or taking off from DIA, but flying at a steady altitude.
The object was capsule shaped, like a medication capsule . It was bright, shiny silver in color with two darker vertical bands each spaced about 1/3 of the length. I could not discern any wings and I could not see a tail, like a plane would have. Simply the cylindrical shape of a capsule. I could not see any windows or markings. I would say the length was less than a 747, but was about 50% bigger in circumference.
I lost sight of it as I drove closer to the airport simply because my car passed out of range of being able to see it through my windshield. of course, having a passenger, I could not stop or photograph it.
