I was sitting in my back yard talking to a friend on the phone. The night was dark, the moon was just over the west mountains and was only giving off a little light because it was just a sliver. I looked up and there was a black wing directly over head moving at what seemed to be maybe 50-60 miles per hour. I could see the whole shape of the wing as it passed over. It was headed west. It seemed small, maybe the size of a small airplane and it seemed low maybe 200 or 300 feet above the homes. My first impression was it was a hang glider. The wing had no lights and made no sound. I was only able to watch it for 3 or 4 seconds; as it moved away from me I saw the back of the craft and then it simply blended into the night.
