Cigar-Shaped UFO Vanished

When exiting Keeley Road facing Rankin Mill Road (facing the grave yard which is in front of the landfill dirt mound area). I saw a long object hovering low in the sky over the landfill area. At first I wondered if maybe it was a very high crane, with maybe a long piece of steel attached. But, then I noticed that it was slowly moving. The closer it got to my view, I noticed that it was cigar-shaped. It was not inflated in appearance like a blimp. It was narrow. It had numerous lights on the side of it. It was extremely long and difficult for me to estimate the length. There were no other visible aircrafts in the sky. I did not have on the radio or CD player. It was quiet and I did not hear a sound from the object. I turned my lights off and on again multiple times as I tried to get a clear view of it. I did not want my lights to interfere with my view of the object. As it got closer to my car, I continued to watch it. All of a sudden, It began to fade, as to vanish. As the object was approaching overhead right in front of my car, I sensed that the object was all of a sudden no longer bright and clear like it was just moments (seconds) ago before, which was very weird and strange. As a natural instinct, I began to rub my eyes in an attempt to focus, as I am a contact lenses wearer. Suddenly, the object that was slowly fading, vanished. I looked through my front windshield and my sunroof and it was gone. I am estimating that I watched the object for 10 to 15 minutes before it vanished. I then began to drive. I turned right on Rankin Mill Road. I turned right on Camp Burton Road. I made a 3 point turn in order to look back towards the Keeley Road area in an attempt to see the object. The night sky was clear and there was no visible object in the sky. I then, positioned my car to drive back towards Rankin Mill Road. I turned left on to Rankin Mill Road and drove back towards Keeley Road, while looking up into the night sky in an attempt to see the object. There was no visible object in the sky. The object had completely vanished.
