Circular object hovering above farm fields by my house. I go inside to tell partner and had disappeared when I went back outside.

One evening in early February at 5:47pm I went outside so my dog could do her business and I looked up at the moon which was above my house. I then noticed what looked like a planet in the sky near the moon, over some farm fields by my house. However, it was too early to be able to see a planet. It was small, circular and light in color. It did not move when I was looking at it. I took photos and video of it, then went inside to tell my partner. He looked out the window and confirmed I wasn’t seeing things. Still in the house, I opened my SkyView app to make sure it wasn’t a planet and indeed it was not. It’s also too large at that distance to be a drone or at least a civilian drone. I went back outside and it was gone, but I took more photos / video of where it had been for documentation. All of this was within a four minute span.

I zoomed into the photos I had taken and adjusted the brightness and exposure and it’s somewhat triangular in shape with rounded corners and seems to be illuminated (perhaps from sun reflection or lights on it?). Also, it has what looks to be an aura / haze around it?! I wish I had kept my eyes on it the entire time to see what happened to it! I’m going to attach the evidence I got.

Now I’m supposed to give some personal background. I previously worked at a fast paced job in NYC as a manager in analytics consulting. We had a sighting in NYC as well; two smaller wobbling flying saucers going down the street between buildings by our apartment! My partner saw them through binoculars and I saw them with my own eyes. I will post that encounter under New York State sightings. Anyway, we moved back home to Utah and once we had kids we didn’t want a nanny so I chose to stay at home to be the primary caretaker and I don’t regret it. I find the paranormal interesting. However, I am a skeptic and try to debunk something before believing it. I’m a spiritual person but consider myself agnostic - I believe in something higher than us, just not sure anyone can say what it is.

What I saw is a head scratcher for sure. Skinwalker Ranch is a couple of hours away and what I saw looks exactly like what they’ve seen over the ranch multiple times if you’ve seen the show.
