Witness Testimony

"I was target practicing with my bow in the backyard and noticed the object, there was no clouds so it kinda stood out in the sky. the object made no sound was oval shaped and look like it was about 5 miles away when i first noticed it. i decided to go get a small pair of binoculars to get a better look at it, when i returned it had moved south word maybe 2-3 miles but was still only about 15-20 degrees above the horizon. with the binoculars i was able to get a little better look at it, the object appeared to be shaped like a donut but without the hole in the middle just an indent in the middle. after i finished my target practice i noticed that it had moved off to the east and was now about 10 miles away or so. i look at it with the binoculars and it looked like it had, what reminded me of a propulsion system clear across the top edge that was facing me, or maybe it was lights. the color reminded me of a jets after burners. again it was quiet a was off by then. i believe i live under a flight path of lamoni, osceola and flights out of des moines but this was not an airplane. i don't know maybe i've watched too many star trek, star wars and other syfy show's???? then again i don't think so. i have seen this one other time about 5 months ago but just brushed it off, not this time. i used my phone to take some pictures but not very good but i will upload them anyway. object is in the lower left on one and in the middle of the left side."
