Detailed sighting of a black rectangular craft with circles on the bottom. Seen traveling then vanished!

As a lifelong lover of space, weather, aviation craft etc. from a young age I have always found myself staring up to the sky. I mean compulsively. Whenever I step outside, I always check the full skyline for sun, moon, stars, storms, aircraft ...anything. Also as an Engineer I’ve always believed that advanced technologies do or have existed. Despite all this and in 40 years of living I’ve never seen anything unexplainable in the skies. This changed on Oct 31st 2019.

I prepped the kids for Trick or Treating then went outside on our north facing deck of my home in the middle of a populated area. Immediately I noticed a black object sitting in the sky maybe a mile or two to the north. At the same time I heard the sound of a small prop plane, and at first I thought this propeller sound was coming from the black object and that the black object was just a typical aircraft. But I then noticed a small, much closer, very slow flying Cessna traveling west to east above I-94 that was clearly making the sound I heard. It was just getting to dusk as I remember the Cessna’s flashing lights were on and I could just still see its paint color.

I refocused back on the black object and my heart started to race a bit as it looked unusual and rectangular. Seconds later it started flying towards me, but at 45 degree angle from straight at me. I now could clearly see it was indeed a black colored rectangle (geometric prism) or aka brick shape. It moved with the wider dimension out to its sides (not lengthwise). The object then moved by jumping(?) forward and started now to the ESE direction, I rubbed my eyes as I could not believe it and also it seemed it could blur out of focus.

Overall, I got some very clear looks at this object and it was an definitely an engineered flying craft unlike anything I’ve ever seen! There were two larger white circles at each end and about 4 smaller white circles all in-line with the larger two circles across the width of the rectangle. There were no flashing lights and these larger circles weren’t lights it appeared, but looked maybe half spheres recessed into the craft like ceiling can lights or something...I don’t know. They were white, but very soft and hazy, not bright at all.

The object was really messing with my mind and senses. It had: zero sound, moved supernaturally smooth (it appeared it could also sort of jump forward in space, unlike typically high speed acceleration) , extremely poor aerodynamics (like a wide brick like geometry), came in and out of focus (optical cloaking?), and not sure if I was panicking but I felt like it saw me watching it. Finally, it flew fast well out in front of the Cessna in the sky and as soon as I reached for my phone it completely disappeared! This all lasted I think about 15 seconds.

I’ve been obsessed since then and have read extensively through the NUFORC archives of rectangular craft. I also have performed google image searches and have found some very similar pictures and descriptions. Ive created a detailed drawing using MSPowerpoint It was certainly larger than the Cessna, and was pretty dang big, but not humongous- maybe 180ft width or “wingspan” if you will. Also, due to its direction change from the N to ESE I also saw its depth and height (side profile) very well and it was much smaller maybe 20ft depth x15 ft high, hard to say for sure. So, clearly, dimensionally it strangely was just a 3D rectangle - no protruding tail, wings or features other than the circles on the bottom.

I strongly believe the Cessna could’ve easily seen this object as it was maybe just several hundred feet higher in elevation and zoomed out ahead of the Cessna or just to the pilot’s front-left.

This was no toy drone and should not have been able to move like this. My belief is the two larger, white, half-spheres have something significant to do with its power/propulsion as when its direction changed one of these circles haziness was more prominent I’ve replayed this sighting over and over in my head and I’m confident in all these descriptions of what I saw. I would have submitted my story sooner, but wanted to do my research and was unsure what I should do.
