Full Description & Details

Ok so I am driving home approaching traffic lights on country road.It's about 2am. A small circular bright light appeared in the night sky. At just above tree height. I would approximize the height as two street light poles high. The circumferance of the light was smaller than the size of the actual traffic light. I would say again approximately half the size. I saw both in comparison to each other. This bright torch light appeared for about a second then travelled forward away from me at great speed disappearing after 2-3 seconds. I can't explain it. It was like the tail light to a craft that sped off from a still position but there was no craft attached to the light. No chance it was a reflection or some windshield trickery. I laughed because it stumped me. Always been highly skeptical, this is my first experience of anything like this.

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

I would have to say it appered man made. In other words intelligent design. it was too low in the sky to be anything I know off

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

skeptic on UFO's before and now I have an unexplained experience. I like scientific explanations and truth before I believe in anything. And I can only claim to seeing a low level light appear and then speed off. Is there an unidentified flying light category?

I'm not crazy, I'm not making this up. I'm not sure at all what it was I saw except it happened very clearly. It made me laugh
