Triangular shapes that only I could see. I was driving on the intersate with my girlfriend, at the time, and one of her friends. It was at night, fairly nice weather. I am driving and I see three glowing lights hovering about 50ft from my car. I couldn't tell if it was one craft or three. There were 3 lights that were hoveing and were making a triangular shape. I turned to my girlfriend and asked her what it was. She replied with "Whats what?". I asked her again and she did not see it. I kept asking her if she could see the craft and made sure she did not see anything. Very odd experience. Her friend in the back seat was wondering what we were talking about and she said she didn't see anything either. This really was insane. It was very obvious that there were three triangular lights hovering above. Why the two girls in my car could not see it I have no idea. The lights stayed in one spot and I kept driving and they did not follow. I wasn't sure what to think. I was not on any drugs nor was I drinking. I decided to keep my mouth shut due to that fact the others didn't see it and it would just be a silly thing for people to beleive but about a week later my girlfriend asked me what that night was all about. She asked me what was going on that night and to this day I saw something in the sky, very close to my car but somehow the other two in the car couldn't see them. Very confusing, but I don't know what else to say but I saw the lights. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. Date is approximate. PD))
