BRIGHT silver rod with dimensions of 6 inch ruler. Estimate that it was very high, and at that altitude was traveling very fast across sky. Observed it climbing from half way up the horizon at about a 30 degree angle until it disappeared. This is the second time I have observed something like this in the same location of the sky. I couldn't discern wings or tail rudders.
Clear blue sky, middle of the afternoon. One object, one witness. I am a Lutheran seminarian and a hospice chaplain. I formerly served as an instructor in two undergraduate liberal arts colleges. Am NOT a scientist or technician of any sort. And I admit I have lousy eyesight. Nevertheless, I believe I can tell an airplane from something else, and I believe this was something else.
