A huge round saucer silently gliding 5,000-6,000 feet above me

I was driving in my car with a friend in the middle of town. As I came to a stop light, a saucer-shaped disk came into my view overhead. It must have been on the same path as I was (a main road), and when I came to a stop, it kept going.

The saucer was (rough guess) half a football field round in diameter. Possibly more. A huge disk silently gliding through the air! Set in from the outer diameter a few yards were a ring of lights, pulsating different colors at different timing. It's been quite a few years past but I recall seeing red and green and possibly yellow lights. It was riding low in the sky, roughly 5,000-6,000 feet above me.

I continued down the road and the saucer seemed to be going at my pace, staying just over me. I turned left and the saucer was still over me. I took one last turn, which essentially meant I was facing the direction from which I had just come and the saucer is still over me. I came to a stop and it kept on going soon out of my sight, in the direction from which it came. At one point I actually thought I was going to be the next abductee!

NUFORC Note:

Date of the event may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact. PD
