Rectangle over Phoenix, AZ

The report, as filed

I went outside at 9 pm to take out trash. Right above me a little to the west I saw a strange orb of lights that seemed to change from orange to whole to red and the lights were hovering. I'm a pilot and look up at planes all the time. My first thought was a drone with some weird lights attached. There was no sound. I stared up at it for about 1 min. Then it started moving. The lights started to fade and now I could see at large black rectangle moving slowly to the east. It was a full moon and scattered clouds, but the sky was a gray color with the full moon. A couple white lights winked on this black rectangle then it went completely black. It was such a dark dark black color. Initially I thought this object was low, maybe 500 ft, but as it glided silently across the sky I saw it went above the the broken clouds. I've never seen anything glide so smoothly. It was the shape of a Hersey bar. It picked move slowly as it glided away completely black but I coul! d clearly see it's shape in the light night sky I watched it until it moved behind clouds. I was really in shock. I thought that's either some very advanced secret aircraft of ours or a UFO. It was amazing. I went inside and told a family member a nd texted a friend. I went on the internet to see if there was any news about this. I even called one of the local news networks to ask them if they had gotten any reports. I also check the weather to see what the cloud layer height was to get an idea of how big this really was. The pilot wether briefing I read said the clouds were scattered at 9500 feet. This object was above them and went through them at times. Based on that altitude Id guess the object was about 100 ft x 50 ft. I'll never forget this sighting. I already believed we are being visited by other planets. Now I can say I know for sure. This had to be a UFO.
