Rectangle over Mill Creek (Newport), NC

The report, as filed

I was in Mill Creek, NC, not far from the fire station and I stopped in the road because I was about to take a left turn onto a long driveway. As I turned my head to look towards the driveway I was shocked to see a very large and thick rectangular object hovering directly over the driveway in-between the trees on either side of the path. The object was a solid black color but had pairs of small round lights on its top both red and blue. The lights had a very soft appearance that grabbed my attention, especially the light blue light. They appeared grouped together side by side on each side of the top of the craft. The back bottom area had larger white lights. The top of the object had a sharp angular structure that lended itself to one end of a parallelogram. It just hovered there for what felt like a few minutes. What kills me is that I had forgotten to charge my phone at work that day and it had 1% AND had flown into the floorboard as I was driving before I arrived in Mill Creek. I was shocked, in disbelief and I just kept saying, "What the #@$# is that!?" to myself audibly. I stayed stopped in the middle of the road and stared at it. Then it very effortlessly just began to glide through the air down the driveway, through the side yard, back yard and over the trees of the woods in the back, until it disappeared just above the treeline. There was no sound. No motion such as propellers. And it was like a giant brick just hovering in the air, black and with slanted upper walls. It fascinated me that a shape like that could even fly at all. Sitting there watching it, I was quite anxious as to what might happen next, but it just went away. If it were to have arrived in that location from the direction it was headed, it would have come from over Newport River. I have never been one to believe in aliens but this experience has completely changed what I believe is possible. I recently had another experience in the same area and my daughter saw it too. It was a different experience and I will report it here.
