We were travelling by car over the moors probably roughly 1000ft above sea level. It was an extremely dark night and the object approached us at what felt like just above eye level. It passed directly over the car as we lost sight of it for a second or so until it appeared on the other side of the car. It felt very low as it was so large. It seemed to be travelling very smoothly and didn\'t seem to be losing height. We could probably see it for about a minute in total
