Weston, Missouri: observation of WEDGE shaped craft travelling at low altitude at high rate of speed N to S paralleling I-29 toward Kansas City

While driving in my personal vehicle east on Co.hwy H and ascending a small hill near the water tower 1/4 mi east of the intersection of Co.hwy M, I observed a craft the size of an F-16 approximately 1000 meters to my left-front flying at high speed N to S at low altitude of approximately 300-500 meters. Possibly parallelling Interstate 29 towards Kansas City. I Pulled over immediately. The craft was wedge-shaped (like a common doorstop). Its color was white with black bottom and trailing areas. I attempted to concentrate on the object's shape and details, but, could detect no hard lines or edges and the object seemed "fuzzy" (the black sections may have been shadowed areas since the sun was overhead). Conditions were optimum: clear, cool, cloudless. There was/were No observed: lights, beams, contrail, noise, electromagnetic phenomenon, or emmissions. Observer in good health and sober. Retired police officer with 20+ years military background. Observed hundreds of warplanes and test aircraft both statically and in flight. Haven't seen one like this before!
