A large triangular craft

While driving home from town at around 10:00 pm down a secluded country rd, we were passing a clear cut of timber land and noticed a bright light to the left. It looked like a long bar of light traveling toward us at a high rate of speed. Startled, I slammed on the brakes and slid to a stop. After leaving the car to get a better view I realized just how big it was. It stopped about 200 feet away from the road at about 100 feet above the ground. It was completely silent. The area below about the size of a football field was lit up almost like day light. The object was about 300 feet wide from left to right and appeared about 40 feet thick from the top surface to the bottom. It hovered there silently for about 1 minute, and the It started to lift and tilt away from us. At that point I could tell it was a very large triangle. I jumped back in the car and spun it around to make chase. The craft accelerated away at what HAD to be supersonic speed. I rushed home and called to police to report the sighting, and when they arrived we were ridiculed. Until that night I never would have believed such things existed.
