Reported: 2008-12-19 12:36 Pacific
Duration: 15-20 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Sciotoville, OH, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large circular cluster of lights, approximately 25-30' wide, approx. 100' above the ground was observed.

Driving home at night; time was approximately 10 in the evening. I was heading west on a road near Meade Lake and eventually would turn left (south) on a side road which had me heading towards St. Rt. 140. While heading west I saw a very bright light to my left. As I turned on the side road to head towards St. Rt. 140, the light was directly ahead of me, probably a bit less than a 1/4 mile. It appeared to be over the road and not moving. I noticed there was a car in front of me and behind me. We all slowed down as we approached the light. It appeared to be a circular cluster of lights (similar to a hosptial operating room light) that was as wide as the two-lane road. All three of our cars slowed to almost a stop as we drove under the light. I estimate that the light was probably 100' from the ground perhaps. I rolled my window down thinking that perhaps it was a helicopter but there was no sound except for the cars. I continued under it and turned right on St. Rt. 140. I became quite a bit frightened as I drove down 140 because I began to think that it wasn't something normal, that perhaps it was a UFO? I then began to think that whatever it was, it had to have seen me drive under it. To this day I wish I would have pulled over some distance away from it and watched what it did. I told some friends but never formally reported it out of fear of ridicule. Later I heard a lot of people out in that area had seen something strange in the sky that moving around. I am an electrical engineer by profession.
