Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I remember the finish having a dull look to it. Not being "bright" in color. It looked like it had been rubbed with sandpaper, to dull the finish. As best i remember, it looked like it had lines drawn, to denote sections.

Size of Object(s)

Round, approx. 60 feet across from edge to edge and about 15 feet high in the center .

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

500 to 600 feet above me.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban---Trees growing to the North of me, with an average height of 30 to 40 feet. No power plants or military bases close by. But---There is a lake in the area.

Full Description & Details

The object was reddish orange in color.I only got an approximate 20 second view of the UFO. Trees hampered my view, for any further check of the object. If I had not been checking the height of three pine trees, I was going to cut down, I would have not know of the object being above and to the North of me. No smoke, no sound, nothing to make me aware of it's existance. I could not believe my eyes. Something that large, moving, and not making a sound.

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

None of the above !!!!!!!!
