Full Report Text:
sepreate lights on a back road country road.lumunous beyond anything manmade.electronical and mechanical (engine)failure.
me and my girlfriend were driving home from dinner and we decided to take a slightly backroad style direction home.as we were coming up towards the crest of the hill. you could begin to see the aura or projection of an oncoming light.
my reaction was that it was just simply an oncoming car.we reached the crest of the hill to find that no car was in plain sight. But in the distance i could see a set of lights near or on the top of another hill.
i once again assumed it was just a house with the lights on, but as we coasted down the hill i noticed that the position of the lights were moving vertically in comparison to us as we made our way down the hill.at this point i had stoppd the car and rolled down the window to look more clearly .what i saw at first was just what appeared to be a disk with a very low intensity orangish light emmiting from the entire craft.
but just as soon as i focused in on it the object began to move diagonaly towards the feild below.as it moved the orange glow slowly faded to white and then the light seperated itself int seven seperate light orbs that pulsed.now from the angle i was at i could not see it all to well now.
so i went to drive the car around the corner but the car had turned itself off. the key was still in the ignition and i attempted to restart it but there was no resonse. even the electronics were unresponsive.
now at this time i looked back up and saw that the object moved over towards my car.not over top of me but close enough.at this time i realized it was not a disk because even though the lights where in a disk shape formation, when it crossed paths with the moon you could see the moon in the center of all the lights.
as the lights began to ascend upwards, the lights slowley turned orange once again.then out of no where my car started.when i looked back up at the object it was a brite violet and it took of.
my radio did not work for weeks after the inccident.when i went home ! every cl ock had said it was 10:52.but both my car and cellphone clock read 22 minutes faster.

A strange light flashes in the sky and the lights reflect a dark circular object before it disappears completely At about Ten P.M. Easter Standard Time on May 24th I looked out my window and saw a strange light flashing in the sky.
I went outside to get a better view and what I saw was a bright flashing light that was not moving but hovering quietly. It began flashing blue lights and it flashed them in sequences. It would flash a light every second for three seconds and at the third second count it would hold for a longer period of time become very bright and then dim away for a few seconds before starting again.
It then seemed to turn and move up and to the left. It stayed in that place and continued blinking and then it would seem to go far away and then appear again. I ruled out any chance of it being a star or an aircraft and after doing this and moving quickly to different positions it stopped completely and went out of sight.
My neighbor looked at it and also saw it. A few minutes after it went away it seemed to appear one more time and as it blinked it’s lights you could see the outline of a dark circular shape around it in which the lights were reflecting off of it. It was truly mind-boggling.
