V shaped lights coming out of massive cloud in Northern Arizona, red lights blinking inside large cloud.

Friday, November 18, 2011 Leaving Payson driving on Hwy 260 toward Heber at 6:45 p.m. I notice in the distance a Perfect V shaped light down the road in front of me just to the right of the road. At the time it looked like those lights that shimmer through the sky when there is an important event. I thought maybe they were on the mountain. But these lights weren’t moving. They were stationary.

The closer I drove I realized these lights were coming out of a massive cloud and and the V shape of lights looked like clouds themselves and with the moon in the middle of the V it seemed to make them glow. (It didn’t always appear to be a V with different turns in the road it was hard to tell when I drove closer.) It wasn’t long when I realized I was driving under the strobes of lights. Only maybe 15 minutes had lapsed since I first spotted it to the point they were in the air on each side of me. (If I was going 60 miles an hour they had to be at least 45 miles long.) When I turned onto Hwy 277 the enormous cloud was up close and just to the left of the road. In the center of this cloud was a dark black hole where the lights of the perfectly shaped V came out. In the dark hole I could see at least 3 red stationary blinking lights. I also saw an additional red light, briefly, that moved around one of the light beams coming from the hole.

I was completely under the outer edge of the massive cloud (7:45 p.m.) just before turning on to 77 and losing eyesight of it.

Ironically, when I looked at a road map I realized the mysterious cloud was sitting in the middle of a triangular form where 3 roads intercepted. Between 3 cities: Heber, Snowflake and Holbrook. It was in the middle of this triangular form of roads. ( Hwys 277, 77, 377) I never saw another soul driving on 277 but there were others on 260. Did anyone else report it?
