Full Description & Details

On wednesday night i was driving south on interstate 5 from San Francisco towards Los Angeles. About 2 and a half hours into my drive, near the panoche exit, nearing the coalinga area, i noticed something in the distance to my left. I saw lights and i thought that this object was flying low, so i kept an eye on it. As it got closer, i thought wow this thing is sorta low and making a b-line straight for me. I was trying to make out if it was a plane or a helicopter, but couldn't until it got really close. This object was so low and coming right for me that I was getting panicky and if i should slow down or speed up to avoid the objects path. But just then it proceeded to float directly over me. I got a good look at it, because it was about 50 feet over my truck. This object was black and blended in astonishingly well with the atmosphere. Not just any color black! It had perimeter lights that flared at its rounded points, maybe about 5 gleaming white lights. But not bright lights more like soft lighting, just like illuminated type lighting. it made no noise it seemed like, but i also had my window half way down and the radio on. But still didn't hear any jet like noise that would probably over power my radio and wind noise since it was so close. Next, the object floated over me and onto a north western path. As it floated over me, and i keep saying "float", because that is the movement this object had. A very smoothe glide float. Anyway...as it passed over me, i turned my head and looked through my back window in amazement and actually yelling out loud to myself, "Oh my god, what the f*** was that!" Meanwhile im almost driving into the center divider, i swerve and become straight again. Driving with my mouth open in sheer shock i looked around to see if there was any other cars right around me, but there were only truckers about 200 yards behind me, i was scared. I wanted to stop and take a moment to try and see it again, but i was alone and this area had no offramps or lights, in fact i couldn't even really get a point of distinction for about 5 miles. The closest offramp i saw after this sighting was panoche rd. i think. This was an experience i will never forget and i need it explained. After doing some research i found no military planes that resemble what i saw, and i found that people have been seeing this sort of object in the same vicinity on interstate 5 since 2000. Here i am to report another I-5 unexplained flying object.
