Can somebody help me?

On Friday night about sunset, I was not able to photgraph it, there was a solid cigar-shaped object near the SW horizon. I am in the North Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, I was near the Ivanhoe Golf Course.

Mmmm more data please. Size, color, movement how far off did it appear to you?

If the Sun is behind the object you are looking at cloud be all sorts of mirages, more light off an object can change its appearence.

What do you think it was..your impressions and feelings.

G'Day,
When you say "you where near the Golf Course" how far is the bar from the course

If you are in the NE suburbs and you saw it to the SW, that would put it over the top of Melbourne. Could be any sort of advertising blimp.
