I-5 near Panoche - flying object with white, red, green lights

While traveling south on Interstate 5 in California near the town of Panoche, I (the driver) first saw what looked like a huge semi with huge white lights crossing an overpass to the right side of the road.

Then I realized it had 3 or more huge white lights on the front – couldn't make out the shape and also there was no overpass. I asked my family (4 members all above age 17) “What the heck is that?” By this time the craft was on the right side of my van hovering low over a field and I could no longer watch because there was a lot of traffic. My kids were freaked out!. According to them – the thing then had red and green lights and was flying very low and keeping up with us. Then my daughter-in-law and my daughter saw the thing drop two colored balls onto the ground. The thing kept up with us for about a half to 1 mile and then just disappeared. While I have seen a UFO – 30 years ago – my kids had never seen anything like this. They wanted to go back and look for it. But the traffic was too heavy and not many places to turn around. I know that a lot of other people on that road that night saw something.

I wish they too would report it. My kids are now believers.
