Full Report Text:
Observed a 3 seconds of glint off a low flying object in sky over Chantilly VA in late afternoon before it vanished. A flash of light looking like very bright sunlight glint off an aircraft appeared in clear sky about 2000 feet up. I initially thought it was an airliner (Dulles Airport nearby) but it’s path was more east to west while normal path or airliners landing at Dulles is south to north.
I was driving south and was wondering what aircraft would be flying in that direction (size of glint made me thing is was a low flying aircraft) and it just disappeared. There was no traffic so I slow my car scanning for whatever it was but it just vanished or at least I could no longer see any light refection off its surface. There was nothing tall enough in the vicinity I could attribute to causing this irregularly shaped bright light.
This is second time I’ve seen a UFO in my life. The first time was I was in northern Wisconsin in the 1970s when I saw a stationary cigar shaped object very high in the sky. I could only see it that time because the sun was glinting of its metallic body.
That one was huge and its shape was very distinct. Today’s phenomenon was very different as it was moving and had an irregular shaped, very bright light or reflection, long and narrow but not distinct and flying at a much lower altitude in the sky.

Cylindrical object, approx. 10 feet in length, with undulating protrusions ,reflective area at its top, impervious to head winds On 10/10/2019 at approximately 4:43 pm EST , I was at my place of work near Dulles IAD, when I noticed an unidentified aerial object approximately fifty feet above and passing slowly down the length of one of the secure buildings. From my point of observation ,there was no sound detected.
The object appeared to be at least ten feet in length , and of a roughly cylindrical shape. At that point , I began taking photographs with my phone through the window of my building. The object retained its rock steady vertical flight configuration for the duration of the sighting, and seemed to be impervious to head winds.
Its flight path seemed under control and proceeded in a slow,graceful curving climb to the East against a head wind, where it levelled off and was lost to my sight among some cloud cover. Duration of the sighting was approximately five minutes. The slow speed of the object remained constant throughout the sighting.
Details of the object; There was a brilliant light or reflective surface at the top of the object which remained constant throughout the sighting.One strange detail that I noticed while it was relatively low, were undulating protrusions passing down its left side , which appeared to emerge from and return the the mass of the object.
