I'll did better Don, I've drawn you a picture! <G> BTW, thank you for your
posts and involvement, it is greatly appreciated.

Well, as you can see from the illustration what I have is a swath of sky
directly overhead and then a tree blocks me to the west, and the building
itself from the east. The house is only 30' to 35' tall and the tree in the
back is only slightly taller, so I do have some (although very restricted)
lateral view. Hope this helps Don.
I can assure you (and backing it up with decades of observational
experience) that what Greg and I observed WAS NOT AN AIRPLANE. I've
seen too many airplanes for too long to mistake them at the distance and
apparent size that this object was. I live very near to JFK I get
airplanes to study out the ying yang! This 'thing' whatever it was _WAS
NOT_ an airplane.
