Very fast moving aircraft, silent and low flying, approximately 50-75 feet above ground
I was outside with the dog, who started barking. There were no other people or animals in sight. Then I saw a very fast moving, oval but slightly rectangular craft overhead increase in speed and suddenly move across the sky and out of sight. I thought maybe it was a drone at first, but it was absolutely silent, too large, and accelerated way too fast to be a drone. It seemed to reflect the light of the moon and street light, but did not have any lights on. It was bigger than a canoe, but smaller than a car. No aircraft that I know of could be that silent and close to the ground while moving through the air, or accelerate that quickly at a low altitude. I could not hear it at all, just the wind rustling nearby leaves. Then it flew out of sight past the tree line toward the lake.
