we had got off work at 11:00 that night and went for a ride in rural volusia county. we observed a large object in the sky in a direct line in front of us. it was so close to the ground , about the distance of a six story building. we could see into the top lighted windows. there were also some colored lights at the bottom. the craft was completly silent and moving slowly. it then stopped to the front of our car abount two and a half bus lenghts ahead. we got out of the car to get a better look at it . i'm unclear about the next few minutes. then we got back in side of the car and the craft took off at a high rate of speed from a dead stop , no noise ,it then made a sharp right turn like nothing i've ever seen even to this day.we turned our car around to see but it wasn't any longer in sight. we never talked much about it but a few years ago i asked my husband to draw what he had seen and i sat across the room and did the same. our pictures were alike.we were not scared more in awe.it was a gray-silver color.
