Driving back to my house it now gets darker earlier. I looked up at the almost full moon. Between the clouds, it was very good visibility, with the night sky , stars were bright and clear. To the left of the moon the cylinder, it passing through clouds a large gray?/metal? cylinder passed in the opposite direction of my travel.
