Cube over Buffalo, NY

The report, as filed

I was lounging in my backyard on a warm, summer night, enjoying a fire by a 200 year-old fireplace located on my property. I was marveling at the brightness of the moon and began to take photos for a period of ten minutes. I later learned it was Sturgeon Moon. I noticed a bright, white cube-like object that appeared to have wings emerge from a perforation in the sky. It looked like a trapezoidal-shaped window imprinted into the sky, in which this object emerged with a burst of light. The object morphed into an oval-like shape, and appeared to be more dense than the holographic appearance that perforated initially from the sky. The moon, as my reference point, barely moved location in the sky, in contrast to this object that moved between locations in a short period of time. There appeared to be a swirly, hazy holographic aura around the object during this time. I took several photos of the object from a stationary position.
