Full Description & Details

while walking my dog in a field near my apartment, i noticed an object very high in the clear blue sky. at first i thought it was an airplane but i couldnt see any wings. the object was cylindrical and metalic. i noticed a red diamond shaped aura around the object and then the sky began to sparkle like sunlight reflecting off the ripples on a pond in the sunlight. while watching the object it began to eminate a very bright light clearly visable even in the daylight. i looked away for a moment because the sparkeling light around me was obstructing my vision. i looked around for a moment and rubbed my eyes hoping the effect would stop. when i looked again the object had disapeared and shortly after my sight returned to normal.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

i thought the object was a plane and the bright light could have been a reflection of the setting sun but it was extremly bright and there is no explaination for the bright sparkles or its sudden disappearence

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

i have studied the ufo phenominon at great length from a scientific and spiritual standpoint but i am very skeptical when it comes to my own sightings i do my best to come up with ordinary explinations long before claiming to see an actual alien craft
