Cigar over Oak Creek/Sedona, AZ

The report, as filed

While renting a private home in the Oak Creek village of Sedona, I wanted to go outside and look at the stars. They say their much brighter here at night. It was approximately 10:30 PM I was in the back yard looking up at the galaxy of stars that was truly amazing. I saw a shooting star right off. My eyes were drawn to a perfect triangle of 3 stars way out in the galaxy. They were twinkling. I thought it was unique enough to want to try and take a picture of the triangle of stars, thinking they probably wouldn’t even show up using my iPhone. I used 2X zoom. I did not see this object until I looked at the photo afterwards. First you see the hedges/bushes separating the neighbors house behind ours. That's their porch light lower center. Then their treetops. Above that you see a cigar shaped UFO at an unusual angle. I was excited. This is the actual untouched photo.
