Spotted an object in the sky during afternoon walk, Bright silver elongated body with a blue mirrored dome on the bottom it.

I was taking my daily afternoon walk on January 3, 2024 at approximately 2 p.m.. When I had walked about 1/8th of a mile from my house, I noticed an object in the sky and at first I thought it was a plane or helicopter. I thought it looked like it was too close to the ground for a commercial jet. I noticed it did not have any wings and was elongated, bright shiny silver, with a knob like structure on the top of the body at the front of the craft, with what appeared to be a large blue mirrored dome on the bottom of the craft, that was slightly bigger than the body of the craft. It appeared to be about the size of a mid-size airplane minus the wings and tail fin, there were no windows that I could see. I watched it and noticed it was not moving, but hovering without making any noise. When I got to my turn-around point on the road, I crossed it quickly (3 to 4 seconds), and when I turned to look at the object again, it had vanished. I stood there looking all around to see if it had traveled higher, or if it had moved off in any other direction, and I saw nothing. The day was mostly clear, and partly sunny, and the area of the sky I saw the object in was void of clouds. As I continued my walk, I made it a point to keep looking around the sky to see if I would see the object again, and I did not.
