Large white saucer-type aircraft spotted hovering in the late evening Phoenix sky for several minutes & then disappeared

My grown daughter and I saw one oblong saucer-like aircraft hovering in the sky. It gave off a very bright white glow and appeared to have smaller white lights around the outer perimeter. It was distinctly NOT an airplane or blimp. It appeared to turn sideways after a few moments which made the profile a slender oval in the sky and then it disappeared. We both could not believe our eyes as we watched. We both felt certain it was not an aircraft typical to our night skyline.
