I'm a public school teacher and have been interested in ufo's since age twelve. I never had a sighting I was confident was a ufo until this morning. I was going out to the truck to go to work this morning at 6:30am. I noticed to the west, the sky was completely cloudy, but to the east everything was perfectly clear. As I looked to the east, I noticed an amber light that was brighter and larger than any of the visible stars in the sky. When I became aware of the stationary nature of the object, I began to talk out loud to it, asking it to come closer. When I said that, the light grew in intensity, but was still a considerable distance from me. At 6:35am, I got in truck and began to drive in the general direction of the light hoping to get more detail. After driving a half mile to the east, I stopped the truck and rolled down the window. Even though light was still some distance from me, I waved at it. Almost immediately the amber light went off, revealing a constant, smaller red light. In a matter of two seconds, the red light had moved beyond visible distance toward the east.
