Extremely Large Quiet Craft moving slow N/E direction with Static Electric Feeling watched for 3 to 5 minutes

Late July of 1983 exact date unknown but had to choose one above was seen about 9:30PM or so by me.

I was on my way home while riding My bicycle and when I got to the top of the hill at the entrance of Van Orden Lane, I stopped to tie My laces on My sneeker which came undone.

When I got to the top of the hill to tie My laces, I had noticed that all the sounds had stopped. No wind, no animals, no crickets, no leaves, just total silence. Also at the same time I had felt like there was a lot of static electricity in the air and a very sudden and strong taste of aluminum in my mouth. Something I was feeling said to look up and I looked up and saw a very large craft moving very slowly overhead that was blocking out the stars where the Craft was and where the edge of the Craft wasn't, I was able to see the stars. The Craft was dark grey to black and moved at a constant speed heading North East. I had watched it for about 3 to 5 minutes constantly keeping My eyes on it. I knew that it was late and I had to get home so I rode My bicycle to the house. Once I got in the house, the taste of aluminum went away immediately. I didn't know then what I had saw just a few moments before and didn't speak about it to anyone once I had realized what I had seen, I didn't want anyone thinking I was crazy and sort of just put in the back of My mind until recently when the News broke in 2017 about UFO/UAP in the News. I have only told just a Very few people still out of being looked at negatively. That's why I'm reporting it here just to have it documented and not be ridiculed for telling UFORC what I saw. My Name can be given to an Investigator but Not released to the Public since I don't want and ridicule or issues from My Employer or coworkers if My Name is released. Maybe after Total Disclosure has been done, but not now at all.
