cigar shape which I initially thought was a plane but didn't have wings
This day in June was mostly a clear early evening day with a few small clouds slowly passing by with a temp around the mid 80's. I was sitting in a chair in my backyard brushing my dogs and talking on my cell phone occasionally. I took a break and leaned back in my chair scanning the southern sky for a few minutes when what I first thought was a plane entered my view. This object flew in a straight line from my western point to an eastern point in about 6 seconds. The object looked like a commercial plane (say 727 size) from underneath it. As this object was flying across my view the underbelly of it was lite up (white metallic looking) which I thought was probably from the way the sun was hitting it from underneath as dusk was approaching. In my estimation the object was flying at a lower altitude (10,000 to 15,000 feet) as I could tell the body resembled that of a plane's size. Two things really stood out at this time: first, this object had no wings (I repeated this several times to myself) and second, it had none of the underbelly lights (red/green) that you would see on a commercial airliner.
To say truthfully, I was shocked and kept saying how can this be a plane as it doesn't have any wings. I stepped outside of my backyard area to attempt to listen for any noise as it began to go out of my view to the east, but I live in a condo and there were 3 airconditioners running within a 20 ft area of me so I couldn't hear anything other than the a/c. I live on the flight paths to both the N.O. International and Regional airports and see planes around me all the time and have never seen one flying without wings.
