the object just floated across the road in front of us, and suddenly just "blinked-off" / it disappearred in front of our eyes!

My son & I were visiting my mother that weekend, she lives in Dawsonville, Ga. We left her house at about 6:10p.m. to 6:20p.m. on Sunday night as we were returning home to Alpharetta, Georgia (my son needed to be in bed by about 9:30p.m./ he was 9 yrs. old at the time). We had been gone from my mom's house for about 15 minutes, we turned on Shoal Creek Rd. heading towards the city square of Dawsonville. There seemed to be almost no traffic on this winding country road. As we rounded a lazy turn in the road, my son & I witnessed, at VERY CLOSE range, what appearred to be a "Black Triangle" shaped craft. It was barely at tree top level (approximately 100 feet)directly in front of us. It was floating,kind of rocking in a bizzare manner, slowly from left to right. I can only compare this to a "Puppett" on a string. This object was floating, almost dancing,& appeared to be turned up on its sides. The sides were un-equal in length (I think it would be classified as an "Isosalyes Triangle, math teacher would be proud).Anyway, we were in a state of shock from what we were witnessing (I assumed this later that night). In each corner on underside of craft, were dark blue/neon type lights. These lights were not overly bright at this time. They seemed to be casting a blueish hue, towards the center, where we observed what I can only describe as two straight lines, one a little higher than the next,similar to the number 11 with half-square parenthesis on each side of the vertical 11 lines. The square-like parenthesis were off-set from each other, the one on the left side was higher up than the one on the right. Me or my son, either one can still draw this perfectly. It looked perhaps like some form of insignia. The craft just floated right in front of us, across the road to the other side. as soon as I intially saw this object, I swerved off the road & slammed on the brakes. We were not going very fast anyway. This object was approximately 200'ft. directly in front of us & about 100'ft high. This all! seemed so damn surreal! As this object/craft floated slowly to the other side of this road, we just sat there in my truck (Lexus RX 300) observing this obvious un-earthly vehicle. I say this because of the movement,shape, ect.. When it reached the right side of the road,(where we were sitting), the craft seemed to just "blink-off". It was gone, just like somebody turned off a light switch. There was no apparent acceleration, it was literally there one minute & gone the next.

At that point I pulled my truck back on the road & we continued our trip home. The really strange thing was we didn't say "anything" to each other the rest of the way home,which took us about 30 - 35 minutes. I pulled into our driveway, opened the garage door, pulled truck into carport & we just sat there staring ahead, facing the wall in the carport with the truck still running. We sat there, silently, for maybe 5 minutes, when all of sudden at the same time we both slowly turned towards each other and asked,"What the heck just happened"? We did not immediately talk about this. For some reason, I told my son to go inside the house & draw whatever he saw. I did the same out in my truck. I went inside & then we compared drawings. We then realised that we had indeed witnessed the exact same thing. This drive normally takes 45-50 minutes. However, when we got home I noticed the clock in my truck, it was 8:40p.m.

NUFORC Note:
