Sunny day, warm with light breeze. Some cloud, blue sky. I stopped to take photographs of yellow meadow. Natural sounds of birds, light traffic. Four hours later reviewed photos. Duplicate of the same scene only one show this object. BLACK TRIANGLE, possible 300 feet above ground level?

Me and my father were standing on the back garden while he had a cigarette, when suddenly, we saw an anomalous object high in the sky. The object had the shape of a bulbous pistol. It was flying incredibly slow and was emitting a dull pink glow in the centre and looked transparent in places. It seemed small but was significantly high in the sky. It was also swinging from side to side, like a pendulum, as it moved. It eventually disappeared over a line of houses.
