Hockey-puck-shaped-thing.

This was about ten years ago, I was a fifth grader. My mom picked me up from school one day and as we were driving home, I noticed a black object hovering in the sky. At first I thought it might be a balloon, but as we pulled into our driveway, it looked more like a hockey-puck turned on its side. It was maybe 200 feet above the ground (without knowing its actual size, it's hard to know exactly how high it was) and was spinning counter-clockwise relatively to the ground at maybe 45 rpm. I can't remember what day it was, but I can remember what it looked like exactly. It was black, not entirely shiny, but not flat, either. After about fifteen minutes, it finally began ascending.
