2004-02-05 - Limassol (Cyprus) - Egg

we were driving towards the mountains, i was in the passenger seat, we were headed north, to our left we saw a red line, it looked like something had hit the atmosphere very high up & was heading down, the redness was a trail like fire, at first we thought it was a meteor burning up but the red trail started to decrease & fade away, what was left was a egg like shape coloured black/dark silver object just sitting there in the sky. it wasn't moving, it was as if it was sitting on a pole. We kept driving & our view was blocked then after by hillsides & trees so i don't know how long it stayed for. It was not a plane nor did it look like anything man made.
