from my yard and they have no visible wings or contrails or noise but I have always concluded they were airplanes at a side angle since they routinely appear to be crossing near the same pathway used by recognizable planes.

So at least for the famed "cigar shaped objects" people have reported for many decades, I am skeptical they are anything out of the ordinary other than the angle of sight that obscures their identity as airplanes.
