We were tracked by a alien craft. My friend, cousin & I were students on our way to visit friends. There were no street lights in the country & a tall, long row of pine trees on our left side.
Someone noticed a craft to our immediate left flying low over the trees. It was closely pacing our car. We were feeling scared , vulnerable & kept driving north.
The craft was round with a dome. There were rotating lights around the middle & it was silent. The lights had 3 colors, not sure which ones.
It seemed they might be analyzing us. After 5 or 10 minutes, it made a sudden 45 degree angle & shot instantly into the sky. With relief, we turned around & headed back to campus.
You can't un see an alien craft up close . This subject has been of keen interest all these years.

UFO hovering over potato field behind my girlfriends house Oject was hovering over a potato field behind my girlfriends house. It was late in the day around 7pm. My brother was walking home from a friend's house and I was in my bedroom window calling him home.
At that time we both saw a gigantic ufo just hovering very low looking like it may want to land. I called over to my friends house to tell them to look out into their back yard and at that moment it disappeared in a flash. It was silver in color with lights that went around it.
It did'nt make a sound. It was huge. My brother witnessed it as well as he was just about in front of our home at this time.

witnessed a silver disk in 1970 I was 5 years old, playing football in the street with friends and dads. I remember looking up into the sky and seeing a sliver disk hovering below the clouds. It made no sound.
At this age I knew what a plane was, and what a helicopter was. This was neither. It was a silver disk.
I remember pulling on my father’s pants asking him what it was. He and all the other adults were freaking out. He said he did not know.
It hovered for about 3 mins, then shot off like a rocket and was gone. It took me 30 years to get my father to admit he saw something and acknowledge it really happened. Approximately 8 years ago I saw a stealth bomber fly, it had the exact same characteristics of the disk I saw as a child.
Gave me the chills.
