Details of Incident:
While sunbathing on a boat in the middle of Eagle Lake, I took notice of what I assumed was a
bird soaring directly overhead but it was at an extremely high altitude and perfectly steady.
I immediately realized that the perfect diamond shape (like a playing card) was no bird.
The object was moving in a northerly direction along the short axis of the diamond. The
relative size was approximate to a pencil lead held at arms length. The clarity of the outline
gave me the impression that it was less than a mile altitude and under 80' wide. It seemed
black with a reddish area in the center which was hard to determine against a bright blue,
clear sky.
Being an aviation enthusiast, I realized it was no aircraft I have ever been aware of. This
was confirmed by the complete silence that would have betrayed an airplane, helicopter or model
plane. The sharp e shape and completely straight steady motion ruled out any special balloon
or kite, especially on such a calm day.
The rate of travel was about that of a private plane but still seemed un-airplane like in
relation to the altitude. Then it suddenly accelerated up to about double it's original speed,
much quicker than any fighter jet could change speed. A half second later, while still clearly
visible, it just disappeared or at least accelerated away faster than I could see it go.
