Black Triangle directly above us in the evening, had lights all around the bottom edges, slowly became transparent as it moved NW

It was somewhere between 6:30-7:30 when a friend and I were walking down the road and we happened to just look up at the sky. Directly above us was a black triangular shape in the sky. I can't say how far up, but it was much much lower than any aircraft that flies over frequently. It was close enough that we could make out some details about it. It was a mostly clear evening with some wispy clouds that got thicker the higher in the atmosphere they went. It was still light enough when we witnessed this that the sky above us was still blue. We stopped in the street and stared up at this thing for at the most 2 minutes. It was moving very very slowly, going north-north west. It was triangular in shape and I could tell that it had some size to it. The bottom had round lights that looked like LEDs almost, and they followed the edges of the craft. There were 4 or 5 on each edge that were all the same size and perfectly spaced with equal space between the outside edge and the inside edge. This edge popped out so the middle was another triangle that was set deeper in, and this section of the underneath of the craft had one large glowing circle in the middle of it and what looked like a much smaller ring of tiny light around that. The color of this craft was almost as black as you could imagine black to be, but it kind of had a sheen to it. As it moved NNW, it slowly started to disappear. Not fly into the sky disappear or get smaller disappear, but it stayed at the same exact altitude, the same exact speed, same exact direction, but it started blending in with the sky. I don't want to say it became transparent because it didn't really look like that. It reminded me of Wonder Woman's jet where it would become 'invisible' but you could still see the edges of it. As it faded into the color of the sky, i could see the edges, but then it was just gone. Like there was absolutely nothing there to begin with. There were other people outside during this, but we were the only ones that saw it. We looked around at the people that were in their yards and they didn't notice a thing. It was probably the strangest thing I have ever seen and I still haven't been able to come up with anything that would explain it. I haven't seen anything like it again either.
