I looked up in the sky and there it was

Me, my sister, and my father were playing on the 4-wheeler riding around in the snow. I fell off of the 4-wheeler and laided on the ground and looked at the sky. Right above me hovered a cylinder shaped object in the sky. I told my father to look up and sure enough he seen the same object I did. My sister was only about 6 at the time, but she also seen it. My mother was in the kitchen and saw us looking up so she did and she went to get a camera. As we watched outside 5 airplanes started towards the craft in the sky and it shot off without a trace. Of course the camera was to late, so we didn't get a piture. We called about the 5 planes that tried to go after the object, the airport in the area said it hadn't had any flights take off in the last hour.
