NARRATIVE

I was 16 yrs old. I looked up, and about 100 feet above me was a craft.  It was big enough that it was about all I could see.  It was silent. It had a row of orange rectangular windows/lights, all around the rim. The lights were taller than wider (on end). I took a few seconds to try to understand what I saw, and once I had made sure I was not looking at anything normal, I turned to my friends and said "what is that?". As I turned to show them what I was asking about, it silently moved vertically, and then just zipped off. So quickly, that all they could say is "what are you talking about?". 
It drives me crazy that I cannot verify this sighting. No one takes me seriously, yet I know what I saw. Anyone have any input?
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
