The most interesting thing is that the object hovering near the chimney of the natural gas boiler room reacted to me when I had already

I am a former aviator/electrical engineer, I have flown a lot (including helicopters), but I have not seen anything like this in the air. Some of my articles in Ukrainian Wikipedia are: "World Energy Consumption", "Business", "Missile Defense", etc. Narration: Late in the evening I went out to the balcony before going to bed (here is the countryside, there is a forest to the horizon and a wide river - the Southern Bug), nothing prevents you from observing the starry sky. This time something seemed unusual - just above the horizon some star too bright for such a low location was twinkling. I took a twenty-fold spotting scope and began to observe. To the left of the chimney of the boiler room (the diameter of the pipe at the top is 2.5 meters, the height is 30 meters) and just above it hung a small (about 70 cm) object in the form of a hemisphere (when I talked about this case in the English Facebook group of UFO lovers, and wrote to some English newspaper (I think the Guardian), I called it a UFO Pivkulya - that is, from the Ukrainian hemisphere). It was a hemisphere with a bulge upwards, with a very bright bottom glowing. The light was cold white, similar to today's LED light, but there were no downward rays. Pivkulya made strange oscillatory movements and probably rotated around its axis at the same time, so sometimes its bright bottom returned to me and from afar (1.2 km) it looked like a twinkling star (I made a GIF animation of how it oscillated and some edited pictures from the balcony of what it looked like - when I bought the first computer). Three minutes later, the UFO quickly turned upside down, went out and immediately moved. At first, it looked like a bundle of translucent cotton candy (which children love) moving through the sky, then when this thing flew closer (at the speed of a cloud floating in the sky, although there was no wind then, and no clouds in the sky either), it already looked like an artificial cloud 2 x 3.5 meters, inside which Pivkulya itself was located. When the object passed the forest and there were 20 meters left to me, I put down the pipe (already a dead zone), got scared and sat down at the front panel of the balcony, but continued to watch from under the railing. A cloud with a hemisphere passed about 15 meters above me (5 meters above the roof), a little at an angle to me, as if so that I could see it. What struck me the most was that the cloud looked up close as if a child had drawn a cloud with a felt-tip pen (I could see its clear outlines), but forgot to sketch it, that is, it was semi-transparent. The color of Pivkuli was dark gray, almost black with a slight metallic sheen (similar to graphite/ferrite), I did not notice any sounds, no holes, no video cameras. After the UFO passed over me, I did not observe any abilities or changes in myself. It probably didn't shine so that I could detect them, but the light probably creates some kind of field through which, for example, from the pipe of the boiler room (and when burning natural gas, a lot of carbon and hydrogen is formed), it allows something to be charged/refueled. Why did they reveal themselves and fly close - maybe they are unfamiliar with optics and decided to look through the telescope. After all, on Earth too - first the steam locomotive was invented, and only after tens of years - the bicycle. Thank you - if there is an opportunity to send you pictures and GIFs, I will be happy to do it.
