Description

Strange tic-tac shaped object that flew right above my backyard on September 6, 2020 at 7:28pm in Salem OR, I captured it using my phone Honor View10. It was cruising at a constant speed from north to south at around 400ft, and it was visible for a good minute or two before I couldn't see it anymore.

The first picture is the original photo I took, ISO: 50, Exposure time: 1/131 s, at 270mm focal length. The next is the same image cropped, and final image is my attempt at sharpening the first image. Which makes it look like a mini zeppelin, but it was more shaped like a tic-tac then anything.

I couldn't make out any wings, propellers or any plumes or sound. Another strange thing is that it happened just a day before smoke and ashes filled up the sky everywhere from the huge forest fires last year. I am really unsure what it was, which is why I posted it here.
