Not to sure I should be doing this. People gonna think I’m crazy but I have to tell someone. I was out fishing in my kayak and I seen something that caught my eyes. It was above me for a few seconds then it went towards the north. Almost as fast as a blink. What I saw was something strange. It looked like a galvanized tin garbage can. It appeared to only be the size of a small car but it was fast as hell when it shot straight up out of view. Almost like it knew I was watching. Unfortunately there was no lights, sounds, or any little green men but it kinda freaked me out. This isn’t spam, or a joke. The metal on the aircraft was bright like stainless steel. I know it sounds silly saying I witnessed a flying garbage can,,, but I did.

I looked to the northwestern sky at the time/date/location indicated. I observed a single, very piercingly white light (about the size of the end of a Q-tip cotton swab) sitting motionless well above the horizon. As I focused on this "object", it quite suddenly became dark & displayed an illuminated, skeletal type structure glowing a soft orange color. A few seconds later, it vanished.... It didn't fly away, IT VANISHED. No sound of any kind was heard coming from what ever this was. I am 62 & a professionally trained observer. I have been an amateur astronomer most of my life. What I witnessed will disturb me for as long as I live.... Fear of the unknown.
