Oval over Brea, CA

The report, as filed

It was 8 pm I parked my car the sun was still out . Me and my 3 year old were walking towards our apartment and I noticed a large oval shape thing on the tree I thought what is that let get closer I’m sure it’ll be more clear whatever that is. I got closer and it didn’t make sense all it was was like an opaque oval up against the tree it was neither shiny nor translucent it was a dull gray metal oval . I’m catholic and I had my son so I said nope let’s get inside and I started to pray Our Lord’s Prayer as we turned the corner and continued to the apartment we were asked on past our window and it was like I startled a tall shadowy figure I said Omg come on Noel let’s get inside ! I told my boyfriend as soon as we got inside I literally did not make the connection all I said to my bf was I think I just startled a ghost that was looking into our window and he laughed then I told him about the odd shape thing in the tree and I asked him if he would come outside with me to make sense of hat it was he said why didn’t I record it I guess I went into flight mode . He also didn’t believe me I’m still scared and can’t seem to make sense only conclusion I came up with is that shadowy figure came from that craft why was it looking into our window idk idk this sounds crazy
