Full Description & Details

Driving home we had the first sighting about 30 seconds drive from our house. It was seen by myself and two others. I noticed it first, it was so out of place that I pulled over to the side of the road. Immediately my one companion tried to rationalize away what we were seeing.

The light then blinked out before us. We proceeded home while the one person said he didn't want to know what it was. Once home I had a shower to get cleaned up after work. My girlfriend and I watched T.V. and she decided to go to bed at about 1:30 A.M. She instantly called for me to come into the bedroom. The light was once again visible in the same portion of the sky. I moved into the other room to allow her to go to sleep. I continued to observe the light for another 10 minutes. At this point I realized that I should get my video camera. I continued to observe this object until about 2 A.M. At this point it blinked out again.
