Waukee, IA

I was leaving the Hyvee grocery store in Waukee, saw what I thought was Venus and Jupiter and it was changing colors very bright so I decided to drive 3.3 miles west from the store to take video and pics of it and captured Entities or ETs in a field.. Never stayed for long just enough time to get out of my vehicle take some shots with my phone and leave. It was very dark im surprised my phone picked up on anything. I returned home and looked over what I captured. I also can't find the brown object or building in the background of the photo. drove by the entire area several times during the day looking for it. The pinkish thing in the photo was the first thing that caught my eye so I zoomed in on it and found something even more disturbing, looks to me to be an Alien but ill let you be the judge. Alot going on in those pics ill let you figure it out. Sending the original photo to be analyzed by your professionals. The video dont show much but it gives you an idea on how dark it was and the location. This is not a prank or a joke. I want to make that clear, I have nothing to gain from this other then alerting the UFO community. I did change the saturation on one snapshot to get a clearer view of the image also attached is the original never been altered in anyway.i don't want to spread fear to the public it might be nothing, im just not sure, confused. I was not harmed at all. If you choose not to share it I understand. I would like to stay anonymous.
