Cigar over Pollock, TX

The report, as filed

I'm going to describe it the way I described it to my friend in a text as soon as it happened: I just saw an ufo. (Let's make this clear...I don't mean an alien ship)...just something I was unsure what it was. At first I thought it was a falling star but ruled that out because they happen too fast. This was a slow but not too slow moving object. And unlike a falling star that appears to fall in a vertical line or appears to be be falling in general, this object wasn't falling. It was moving horizontally or parallel to the earth. The reason for comparing it to a falling star was bc it had a tail behind it. But this tail wasn't bright like a star that's falling. It reminded me of a jet with the stream of smoke behind it. But this object appeared to be too close to be a jet and way too big. It was long and cylinder shaped or cigar shaped, and from where I was sitting it looked to be over a foot long or maybe more; longer than a ruler. I was driving at the time and I pulled over to continue watching it. Eventually it disappeared either by vanishing or what I think it was the angle of it may have caused me to not see it anymore. I can say this it reminded me of the rocket ship of nasa but longer.
