Cigar shaped cloud and left very fast.

I was very young at the time.  I was playing outside with my friends.  There were no clouds in the sky.  
We heard a whirling noise and looked up.  I saw a cigar shaped object above us.  I thought it was a cloud.  I told the kids that there where no clouds in the sky.  It sat over us for a few minutes and when, I looked up, it was gone.
I still remember that time. This was in the 50s and Lubbock had the unidentified lights going on.  I think it had to do with Reese Airforce Base.  
I talked to a gentleman at Roswell and he thinks I may have seen something at my young age.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
