Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Lido Beach, NY, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

The Object was above our car hovering. We didn't see it move towards us ...it was just there in an instance.

I was at Nassau Beach with my friend it was the middle of winter. The place was deserted. While we sat looking at the ocean, I noticed a bright light which could have been a plane. My friend wroked for Grumman at the time and said that it was a plane. I continuted to watch the light and saw that a second bright light appeared next to it, while we were both watching, the lights merged and became 1 and started comming toward us. We immediatedly left the area, got in the car and headed out of the large parking lot. We stopped at the traffic light(turning onto LIdo Blvd) we looked toward the ocean and saw this very bright light stationary in the sky. We didn't see it move towards us but it was over the car about 30 ft above us, there was no sound. We both were extremely frightened and sped out of the parking lot. It seemed to follow us when we got onto the Loop PKY (also pretty empty) it looked almost like a star keeping pace with the car at a far distance off. WHile we sped down the pky I noticed that it got brighter again. Once we got onto a more populated pky (the Meadowbrook) the light dissappeared as quickly as it appeared. Needless to say nobody believed what we saw. The next morning we went back to the parking with some friends and burned into the pavement was a huge circle. The burn mark was apox 4-6" thick and about 100 feet around. I tried to report what we saw to the local police dept, but like everyone else they didn't believe us. I really don't care who believes me, I know what I saw, it was only 30 feet above the car. It was round and had blue and white ligths under it. To be honest I have never NEVER been that scared in my life. I will never forget it.
