Gigantic craft, silent - stacked rounded lit windows, huge turbo engine. Followed by three black helicopters

A huge craft that from a distance looked like a blimp, came from Boynton Canyon, flying toward the Southeast. It flew by our back deck at a distance of about 500' above the homes in our 55 or over community. There were three of us sitting on our back deck drinking ice tea. It was huge - at least the size of 4 football fields. It was lit up with windows similar to those you see in a ferry. They were stacked 4 to 5 levels high and all lit up. It was silent, but it had wings and also a huge turbo type engine in the back. It also had some metal girder type extensions. It moved slowly, and we really got a good view. None of us moved, as it moved farther away we got up and watched it head toward the Village of Oak Creek. Following behind were three black helicopters, seemingly escorting it along. My husband would not let me call anyone or report it for fear of men in black. Enough time has passed that I don't think we have to worry about that now. To this day, all three of us can draw it and remember it in detail. It was the most amazing thing we've ever seen. Nothing was ever reported in the paper or on the news. I've heard that others saw it in the Village and I did report it to Peter Gersten, a ufo lawyer, and Rob Meyer a UFO guide in Sedona, Arizona.
