On this particular date, after taking a shower, I found myself looking out my bedroom window to see a object in the air. The best way I can describe this object is that it was shaped like a pill. This object was silver, chrome in color, but it had a red gleam or a red light on it. It just moved across the sky like a plane, but its appearance was a different than a plane obviously, there where no wings on the on the object. I'm a 13 year old that has an interest astronomy and been seeing lots of cylinder, cigar and 'pill' shaped objects. Witness provides no contact information. PD
