Spotted an object with bright lights hovering lower than a plane outside my apartment building last night. It was round/oval in shape.

PLEASE DISREGARD LAST REPORT - This happened at 3:04 AM, so in the nighttime, and not at 3:04 PM in the afternoon like the last report incorrectly stated. My mistake. Sorry about that!
I was in my garage putting my weights away when I looked outside and spotted what appeared to be a flying object. Upon opening my door, I realized it wasn't a plane - it was flying much lower than that. It appeared to be almost like a flying SUV, sort of oval-shaped, but there were no wheels. There were windows on the side and bright lights on the bottom that were either white or light blue. I could tell which part was the front of the UFO, like how you can tell where the engine is on a car. When I went to take a picture, it flew away, leaving something like a trail or a cloud of smoke behind it.
