I am a 59 year old self employeed female. Yesterday right before a severe thunderstorm coming out of the SW and headed toward the NE I was watching the cloud formations and a dark triangler shaped silhouette appeared just above the lower level of clouds. There were not details to be seen, it was more like looking up at a shadow! There was no sound. It appeared solid, maybe 25 to 30 feet wide at the base and maybe 50 feet long. It was moving directly east, not with the storm but across it.
