Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a sunny day with some big puffy pure white clouds. Even though the sun was shining across the Westjet aircraft & onto the clouds, It did not reflect the light. There was a vapor trail behind it, approximately eight times as long as the object. It looked to be 'light' as it rather 'bounced' along. It was pewter colored, a rectangular shape, with no markings such as doors, windows, seams, bulges. I have no idea how far away/how large it really was except to judge the makeup of the vapor trail as being 'curly'

Size of Object(s)

Now, when my arm is extended, I believe the object would have been approximately the size of my index & middle fingers together (only longer)

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

The pilot had seconds before announced that we were flying at 34,000 ft.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were flying above & crossing the mountains.

Full Description & Details

It passed from my view rapidly. I asked the stewardess to ask the pilot if he had seen anything unusual in the last few minutes. She did & the pilot reported that he did not. On my return trip a couple weeks later upon retrieving my luggage I decided to ask a pilot who was standing in the small Abbotsford airport if anything unusual had been reported in the previous couple of weeks. He apparently had heard that 'some woman' had asked a pilot on a flight, but he noted that he had never seen anything or knew any pilot who had.

This may be unrelated, however, when I arrived in Edmonton & had opportunity to share this with a friend a few days later, she noted that crop circles had been reported in a grain field in Saskatchewan. I later obtained a copy of the Western Producer dated Aug 27/98 where there was a story & couple of photographs. Same friend also told me about a place in BC where crop circle(s) were beside a small airport runway. Vanderhoof, BC as reported several weeks later on Saturday am CBC radio program 'Basic Black'.

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

I do not think it can be explained by anything conventional man-made or natural object
