Low flying & FAST object with lights moved across the sky- and then abruptly stopped and hovered for minutes

My husband and I were driving west on highway 62 from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie.

We saw an aircraft traveling horizontally low in the sky very fast. We estimated that is was above Edina at the time. The aircraft was too low and too fast to be a typical airplane. Airplanes usually are not in that area of the sky. We travel this road daily and have never seen an airplane in that spot in the sky before.

It was dark out so the exact shape was hard to determine but it seemed like a saucer with a row of lights toward the bottom. The saucer traveled north- northeast very fast, low in the sky, and then stopped abruptly and hovered. We watched it hover for several minutes as we traveled away from it.

Eventually we couldn’t see it any more because we kept driving. The size of the craft in the sky (from where we were on the ground) seemed a little bigger than a quarter but smaller than a tennis ball so we estimate that it was a couple miles away from us, somewhere in Edina perhaps.
