object had sections like a large tootsie roll only more squared, no lights or noise,lit by city lights moved smoothly in straight line overhead.got a good look but could'nt explain what made it fly.I.m normal blue collar family man

I like to look at the sky, I see things ,this is one . I was in the southern to middle part of town waiting outside of a friends house for my wife as we were leaving and just looking at the sky when I notice a dark object lit by the city lights float by for about 15 seconds before it disappeared in the dark. I t was retangular and had distinct sections best described as the sections of a large tootsie roll or less like but similar to a train. It had no wings or lights. It silenty and smoothly when by almost overhead west of where I was. I would estimate the size by the amount of light to the duration to be larger than a train box car. I'm no whacko and i saw it clearly & am happy to finnally have a chance to report it, thank you.
