Sighting of a UFO ca. 1958.

This event happened when I was about 14 in '58.  
My mother was at work.  She was a hairdresser and worked downtown; my father had died in 1955.  It was Sat. and I called mom to see when she'd be home.  
As I did, I looked out the screen door.  Being summer, the trees were full.  Out the edge of some trees, I saw something that did not belong.  I just hung up with no answer and slowly walked outside.  
My uncle had a lake in that direction and this object was just coming out of the pines.  I walked into the dirt road keeping my attention to the sky.  In about a minute, I could see the object completelt.  It was going slowly with no sound at all.  I could estimate the size from the trees it was above.  It was long (about 200 to 300 ft.) and was a sideways teardrop shape, bigger at one end.  It was definitely not a weather balloon.
I watched in awe as it made transit.  The color was a dim orange and still no sound.  This is the first and only time I have related this to an organization.  Sorry it took so long to report this.
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting in 1958 is approximate.  PD
