Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I cannot recall objects, but have a vague impression that there were lights, a few conversations, and something to do with time. I know I was supposed to remember something, but I have no idea what it was I am supposed to remember.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Highway 70 from Freehold, NJ to St. Louis, MO.

Full Description & Details

I left Freehold NJ at exactly 11:30 PM, July 5th. I remember because I looked at my car clock so I could mentally calculate how long it would take me to reach my destination of Augusta, MO. It is approximately 1012 miles by way of Pennsylvania.

I had taken that trip 2 other times in the past, and so had my wife, on two other, seperate occasions. I know from her past experiences, and my past experiences that it always takes about 17 to 20 hours to make that drive, depending on the number and types of stops taken.

As I was driving alone, I made fewer stops. My driving alone rule is that I WILL stop every 2 hours, stretch, fuel, nap if needed, walk around, and generally make sure I am alert befor econtinuing on. This trip, I should have stopped no less than 6 times, and refueled at least 3 times (I drove a Chrysler Concorde, 1997 model, with full size engine, a real gas hog).

As I said, I left Freehold at 11:30 PM exactly. I should not have arrived in Augusta MO any earlier than 3 PM central time. I arived at between 11:45 and noon Central Time.

I am missing at least 4 hours. The last memory I have of the trip is crossing the bridge in Wheeling, West Virginia. My next memory is arriving in East Indianapolis, Indiana, under the loop, and I stopped for a quick breakfast. I was nausious and disoriented. As I left Indianapolis, I remember looking at the airport on the edge of town. My memory stops there and picks up on the Illinois side of the Mo/Il state line.

I figure I am missing at least 4 hours, maybe more. I have no idea what happened to me, but you can ask my wife, who was in Augusta at the time. When I arrived in Augusta, MO, I looked like living hell, I was exhausted, and I had lost weight.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Not unless the highway department has perfected time compression and dialation. I don't remember seeing a federal portal, though.

Witness Background

I have 210 college hours. Attended Southwestern Seminary for a couple of semesters (Very good grades, too). I am an Estimator/Project Manager at Eckelkamp Electric Co in Washington, MO. I am married. Wife is Sandy. We have a daughter, age 7, going on 31. House is full of cats. Sandy is familiar with the strangeness that surrounds my life, as she has been a witness to some of it.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have been having these experiences all my life. I guess I am just now ready to do something about it. Actually, until recently, I figured most people had things like this happen, but, like me, just didn't feel like talking about it.

Other Comments

This is not the first time something has happened like this, but it is the most memorable, and frankly, I am ready to get to the bottom of it.
