5 friends and myself see black craft come through valley and hover over us

Some friends and myself were hanging out on my friends driveway which is on the top of hill overlooking a valley where you can see for about 10 miles. We were out there for a while so our eyes had acclimated to the dark and we were just talking and hanging out when we see a grouping of lights that kinda just looks like a low airplane but we didn’t hear anything. It was kinda headed in our direction so someone pointed it out and it wasn’t really that high in the sky. As it came our way we started to hear a humming kind of buzzing sound almost like a drone. Then as it got closer we thought it was just a drone because it had 3 green lights on and was triangular shaped. It was really dark so all we could see was the lights in town and the stars. As it kept getting closer it became apparent it wasn’t a drone because it just kept getting closer and was very large. If I had to guess I’d say 100 feet across. It very slowly made its way over us, almost seeming to slow down when it was over us. We were all just kinda of freaking out and all in amazement because none of us could explain what we were looking at. The lights weren’t overwhelmingly bright by any means and just looked like dull green lights in the corners of it’s triangular shape and no light coming from the body of the craft itself. You could only see the black silhouette of the craft blocking the stars and the dull green lights in the corner. I couldn’t make anything out on the silhouette. When it was at its closest I’d say it was probably only 100 to 150 yards above us and it wasn’t very loud, just a kind of dim, dull, hum and kind of buzzing sound almost like a drone but muffled. I’m not really a big believer of sightings and all that but I still can’t explain what we saw and all my friends who were there still talk about it. I only just heard about the site and the date I gave is definitely wrong but it was probably during that summer that we saw it. Just writing about its kinda giving me some paranoid kind of chills. Please don’t disregard. Thanks you
