The truth IS out there. It would appear that someone else saw and reported the same UFO that we did. We are in unincorporated Orange County and Orange is the city immediately to the east of us. This is on the same day and the description fits with what we saw/described.
Someone else in California also reported what could have been the same object as viewed from a distance without binoculars.

We observe the cylinder from the front of my house and it appeared to be quarter-mile away over a canyon. it spun vertically and horizontally but didn’t move from the position overhead for five minutes. it was a gray reflective surface or a black surface depending on how the sun hit it. estimated at 30 feet long and 10 feet wide similar to a cigar tube. it started to rise almost straight up while continuing to turn. add about 1000 feet altitude it change directions and started moving south west. after five minutes it passed over our heads at about 1500 feet and disappeared over our house. my brother and my friend observe the object or 15 or 20 minutes with me and no one has any idea what it really is.

I was about to get into my car when i looked up and saw a white rectangular object. not sure why i happened to look up at that moment. at first i thought it might be a reflection from a spider web, from tree to tree, but realized it was not. it was way above the tree line, and it moved around (back and forth (as seen in the video). i was baffled and so i took a video thinking maybe i was seeing a reflection from the sun. but it showed up on the video as well. unfortunately, i had to leave so i don’t know what happened to the object.
