Occurred: 2020-08-12 17:30 Local
Reported: 2020-08-12 15:20 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Boston, MA, USA

Shape: Egg
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Observed by my associate and I in the southeastern sky from Castle Island Boston, southeast of Logan Airport. It remained completely stationary. I even made a simple stationary jig to confirm that it was indeed not moving beyond perhaps rotating. Small white egg shaped object appeared to be rotating due to to the fact that it appeared to occasionally throw off bright reflections.

First assumed it to be a planet but then it just disappeared about 15 minutes after I noticed it. Visually scanned the sky for the next hour without regaining visual contact.

If the object could be assumed to be about 100 feet in diameter I would guess it was about 12,000-18,000ft msl and 1 to 3 miles offshore.
