Full Report Text:
Round, glows and blinks, maintains car speed and is near to me and the ground. Followed for miles, appeared to be attached to something Flew a little lower than crop dusting plane may fly, and maintained a speed of at least 65mph, as it was next to my car for at least 8-9mi. It was a yellow/gold light shaped like the Chinese lanterns people may light on the Fourth of July.
The light flashed ever few seconds, faster than an airplane or helicopter light. When I neared the next town and there were street lights glowing, it looked like the light was actually attached to a larger, round object. As I drove through the town I lost track of the light, and when I reached the outside of town, I could no longer find it.

orange glowing planet sized object on horizon Just west of Humboldt, SD as I was heading west from Hartford I saw a huge, bright, orange ball as big as the sun as it is setting for the evening, but this is at 10 minutes to midnight!!! Instead of getting out I decided to continue west to get to a higher point where I could take a picture and continued to watch it move from north to south along the horizon. By the time I reached the high point in the road it was gone, COMPLETELY!! Entire event lasted less than 10 minutes.
