Huge UFO in the shape of an inverted Aztec/Mayan pyramid (sides with angular steps) that was in stealth-colored material (carbon black)

Before the sighting occurred, I was paddling a tennis ball against a wall. While doing so, I noticed that the sound of the bouncing ball had changed. It was as if I was in a box or closed environment (even though I was playing in the open air).

After this strange sensation of sounding like I was playing inside a closed ambiance, I started to hear an oscillating sound. First it was almost imperceptible, then it became increasingly louder (but not too loud). The sound resembled me the waves of an osciloscope. A slow sound but with an up and down frequency.

I became intrigued about the sound, and I was trying to locate where it might come from while I was still bouncing my ball against the wall.

Suddenly, I made a high shot with the tennis ball and while trying to look up for the ball, I noticed this flying object in the sky.

I realized the oscillating sound was coming from this artifact, which was moving very slowly, almost imperceptible (even though it was huge). At a moment, I got the sense that it stopped in the middle of the air. Still emitting the sound. I got a sense it was somehow scanning or observing the environment below.

While looking at it, I was trying to figure out what it was (definitely no plane, no balloon, no manmade object).

It looked quite menacing since I never have seen anything like that and it was dark colored (what in today's standards would be 'carbon black' or 'stealth' colored). The shape was also odd. Like a Pyramid but with steps (therefore more like an Aztez or Mayan pyramid). The material seemed to be metallic but also rock-like.

Suddenly it started to fly in a little more erratic way (in terms of velocity and trajectory), but still moving very slowly and emitting that oscillating sound (not too loud, but also not imperceptible to the ear). I got the sense it was scanning the ground and that they would probably notice me… I continued looking at the trajectory in which it was flying (still very slow), almost soundless and flying right to left from my vantage point.

Before it reached the point of where I was, I ran away to get a camera in order to catch a picture of it. I went running to my house, opened the window and before I could take a snapshot, it just disappeared out of my sight.
