Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Very white lights, as many as 30, covering an oval area. We had to be looking at it on an angle against the hillside. I was driving 75mph and the lights were moving off to our right. I thought they might cross in front of us on the highway, but it didn't. It had to have covered quite a large area, maybe several football fields in length.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I think it was 2 or 3 miles away and slightly above ground level.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area which is notorious for being windy. A lot of wind generators are just being installed on both sides of the highway.

Full Description & Details

After attending a horse sale in Billings, Montana, my friend and I were driving home to Great Falls. It was 8:30 p.m. and dark out, so we were keeping our eyes open for deer along the road. Diana suddenly said "Peggy, what is that next to the hill? Is it a low flying plane?"

At first I thought she was looking at the red lights along the wire which were flashing. But she said "No, those bright white lights." When she first saw the white lights, she thought it was cars racing, but the more she looked at the lights, she noticed they were all moving in unison and very smoothly.

When I looked over, I thought I was looking at a rural town with its lights on. It was hard for me to look at them very long because I was driving. Diana thought it was strange that all the lights were moving. I finally stared over at the lights and couldn't believe my eyes. I said "I hope this isn't an optical illusion -- this is really freaking me out." Then suddenly the lights disappeared! It was very strange and scary. We locked our car doors and continued to talk about the strange lights we had just seen.

The lights moved too smoothly to be cars, or even harvesting machines. And why would they suddenly just disappear? Now I wish we had stopped the car or even just rolled down he window. This was in an area which has started to erect generator windmills. On the way down, during the day, we had commented on what a good idea it was to install these wind generators. Was it possible that intelligence from other places were curious as to what was being erected? It was a bizarre thought for two very normal ordinary women.

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

There is no reasonable explanation for what we saw.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Once in a while I'll watch Unexplained Mysteries on tv. Most of the time, the people relating stories seem to be a little bizarre. However, I am a religious person and feel that there are other worlds in the universe.

Other Comments

I went on the internet to see if anything would come up if I put in UFO sightings in Montana. This is how I found your sight.
