Default Amateur astronomer takes pics of UFO's through telescope

"If you ever used a telescope you know that you have to constantly
readjust the direction that it is pointing because as the earth turns
the object that the telescope is pointing at quickly moves out of view.
It was while doing this that I noticed a bright object passing slowly
overhead. I assumed it was a satellite - but I thought it would be fun
to try and point the telescope at it and take a picture. It took me a
few moments to readjust the telescope. When I finally got it pointed at
the object I was surprised to see on my LCD that through the telescope
the camera picked up quite a bit of detail. I knew then that this wasn't
an ordinary satellite. I was expecting just a fine point of light.
However the sunlight on the object indicated (to me at least) that the
object was quite high, since down on the ground it was still dark."
