Rectangle over St. Labre (Canada), MB · Canada

The report, as filed

It was early in the morning just before sunrise, approximately 4:50am on May 9th 2021. I was outside in my backyard checking to see if I could spot smoke from an out-of-control forest fire that was in the area. While I was outside I saw a large craft slowly drift overhead, without making a sound. It drifted in a northeast direction, and I'm not sure how high it was but I got a excellent view of the object. To me it looked like a satellite that was very close up. It was a thin rectangular shape with a black strip down the middle, and the arms/wings glowed yellow, like it was reflecting sunlight. I don't know if it had it's own light source or whether the light was reflected from the rising sun. I watched it for around 30 seconds and then I thought I would run in the house and grab a camera. I was in the house for about a minute and when I went back outside the object was gone. At the speed that it was drifting I thought I would be able to go inside and grab the camera and still be able to get the picture, but it was gone.
