Black spherical object, linear movement, pausing and changing to a somewhat hourglass shape before reverting back to sphere and moving.
This is entirely anecdotal, but figured it was worth reporting. I was inside folding clothes when my 5 year old excitedly comes running in and goes "Hey hey look at this! There's a black hot air balloon!" I came out and sure enough there was a small black sphere in the sky, moving in a direct line, not drifting up and away like a balloon. The extra bizarre thing was that it would stop for a few moments, and when it did, it would elongate and take on a somewhat hourglass shape and then revert back to a sphere and proceed moving. It almost looked like when a bird begins to stretch its wings before retracting them back in. My son and I have seen hawks, birds and numerous jets from Hill AFB over the past several years, but nothing like this. It's an odd coincidence, considering a meteor was recorded over the local area yesterday.
