Spiky Black VW Bug sized and shaped object 500 ft high, 80 mph, flew over house, no sound, looked evil.

Saturday just before sunset, twilight, 8:20 pm, temp 75 degrees, in Watertown, MA looked out the front 2nd floor window and saw one flat-black slightly misshapen sphere object with spikes approaching my house from the North (slightly west of north but not north northwest). Had spike-like protuberances coming out of a small rounded car-sized black sphere, not shiny. Had been reading about UFOs on computer before I glanced up and saw it approaching.

Thought I was looking at the frontal view of an oncoming black helicopter head-on with its bulb-like cockpit but there was no glass, no landing gear, no rotor, no tail, and no sound. Looked like a WW2 spiked ship mine. Size of an outstretched hand's thumb-nail. Moving about 80 mph around 500 feet high. Lower and slower than an airplane or helicopter, no wings or control surfaces, and no lights. Larger, different shaped, no propulsion rotors, and silent - so unlikely a drone. Left no trail. Not a weather balloon; had spikes, moving fast and steady with zero wind in a gray sky. Seemed solid metal. Spherical shape was somewhat misshapen with many protruding black spikes, each differently shaped, not uniform. Flight path was straight but it meandered slightly, maybe 5% from a straight line, like it was looking for something. Went over a house two doors down.

I ran to the back of house to get a picture but not in time. Saw it steadily depart for 15 seconds to the tree line in a south southwest direction (not direct south) so it had taken a slight turn as it went over my house. Thing had a bad military vibe to it and seemed to be intelligently controlled, maybe Ai.
Had never before seen a UFO; now I know what people are talking about when they say they "know what they saw." There is no ambiguity possible.
Noted a similar sighting from an observer in the nuforc database from last month when I went to make this report.

From a retired analytical business consultant, two graduate degrees. Happy to be contacted (by researchers). Have been studying the phenomena for a few years. Glad I finally saw one, except for the fact that this changes everything. Was 95% certain of UFO reality (thus aliens) with the 80-years of massive documentation but am now 100% certain.
