Summary/Description: About 7:00 I was awoken by the hoots and shouts of about 20 student aged folks all excitedly pointing up at this cigar-shaped ufo just hanging there above us. It almost felt like it was mockingly challenging us to figure out what it was. It defied all assumptions but one. It was a UFO.
