Large object over Route 70.

I was travelling East on Rt. 70 at 3:30 in the morning. It was raining moderate to heavy. I first noticed something unusual when the rain suddenly stopped hitting my windshield, then started back up after about 1/10th of a mile later. The gap in rainfall lasted about 7-10 seconds. It reminded me of how the rain suddenly stops for a brief second when you pass under a bridge during a storm. I could also make out that the sky was darker than normal. I pulled over (now back in the rain) and looked towards the West. The clouds in the sky were picked up the ambient light from the streetlights, and against them I could see a much darker object, stationary, over Rt. 70. I couldn't guage the exact size or shape, but my impression was that it was huge. It seemed to drift towards the South, and then I couldn't discern it anymore. There were no overpasses or bridges in the vicinity for me to pass under, and the trees did not overhang the highway. There was no sound and no lights.
