Rotating dark object that climbed in altitude and traveled southeast

I am a full time student at City College of San Francisco and I also work for a public relations company part-time. I recently moved to this part of San Francisco. My house is on a hill and there is a window facing the ocean. The ocean is about 3 miles away.

What I saw was a rising object that looked like a shiny black disc. When I spotted it, it was a little west of San Francisco State University. Then the UFO drifted upwards and east. It revolved horizontally and I was able to see that it was egg or cigar shaped because it would be a small dot and then it would be long and skinny. When it was long, it was about 3 times the length of when it was a dot. There was a glare on top of it from the sun.

I looked at the UFO more closely with binoculars and it had a black underside and maroon/redish topside. It also appeared to have fins like a fish. The fins were translucent green and in the same locations as a fish. A fin on top, a fin on bottom, and a larger "tail" fin. It was as large as a blimp but I didn’t see any entry points on the UFO.

I was unable to see it after it climbed in altitude and was in front of the sun.
