The report, as filed

It was in the early afternoon and I was working outside on a very nice blue cloudless day when I saw in a distance what look very strange was what I thought was a very small patch of a cloud. There weren’t any other clouds in the sky just this one small patch. As I continued to work on our project I had my cell phone with me and took a picture of an area where we were going to add a pole barn to the south side of our property as I was laying out the size and location of it. As I went about my work I felt due to the light breeze that the patch of the cloud was getting closer and I told my wife I’m going to take a picture of this as I’ve never in my life seen just one small patch of cloud in a totally blue sky. At first I didn’t pay attention to the two pictures until later when I checked the location of the barn. It was then that the distance picture shows a bright light just above the lower branch on the left side of the tree in the picture. The second picture was when the cloud came closer and I took the picture again of what I thought was a small cloud. Later when I looked at the picture, I enlarged it on the cell and saw this round object with lights around the circumference of the object and at the bottom center was a large yellowish light. It was not as bright as in the first distant picture. You may be able to judge the distance of the UFO by seeing hawks flying in the distance. Had I enlarged the pictures at that time and saw what the photo’s showed I would have taken more pictures. The object came out of the south and was slowly moving/flying north. Once again slowly as if the light breeze was moving the cloud. I can go into greater detail when you call me concerning this. I’ll email you the pictures once I send this report. The pictures are better than that I’m sending you
