Full Description & Details

i was working nights at a truck stop. i was always up late then. since i could not smoke inside my apartment, i would always go outside to smoke. at about 3 in the morning i went out for a smoke. i saw a red flashing light way off in the distance. at first i made little notice of it, but a moment later i noticed that this object was moving and getting closer. as it got closer i could not hear any noise. the object was moving very slowly (or it seemed to be), and was very low. i would say about 80 yards up. that is a guess. better to say this...look outside and pick the tallest tree, a little farther than that. as the object moved closer, i noticed that it had a red light and three other white lights. these appeared to be in something of a diamond pattern. the lights seemed to be about 25 to 50 feet apart. the lights would flash one at a time...red, white, white, white, red and so on. it was a very dark night and i am guessing that the object must have been black. i could not make out the shape or size of this object...it was like looking at black on black. the object passed nearly directly above (if not directly above) me. at no time did i hear any noise.

it should be stated that there is an air base in the direction that the object was moving. during that summer i heard lots of strange noises coming from the direction of the air base (which i lived near). never had i heard anything like it, nor since. there were other people that heard that noise.

i saw a couple of other strange things that summer. i was watching what seemed to be something in orbit (satellite) when it zig-zaged suddenly and very quickly, then dissapeared. saw another object that could be explained, but not sure...

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

no. i don't think so. but could be i guess...
