Initial data
An eyewitness from Maastricht reports:
A gleaming metal cylinder that seemed to be flying noiselessly towards the southwest.
Disappeared above the clouds (open cloud cover) and was no longer visible, even when the clouds moved further away.It is difficult to estimate the height, just above the loose clouds, the size of at least a passenger plane.
Observed by me and my wife.
Original news
MAASTRICHT, LB — Glanzende metalen cylinder die geluidloos (leek het) naar het zuidwesten vloog.
Verdween boven de wolken (open wolkendek) en was daarna niet meer te zien, ook niet toen de wolken verder gedreven waren.
Hoogte moeilijk te schatten, i.i.g. boven het losse wolkendek, grootte minstens dat van een pasagiersvliegtuig.
Gezien door mij en mijn vrouw.
Hypotheses
Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag.
A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.
