My wife, two kids, ages 9 and 13 and myself. We were going home east just turning from No.BAY Dr, onto No. Way. As we all looked up the inlet, at the end of the pavement, approx mile, there were two very bright lights on the point of the ,mountain dirctlyover the little inter section which goes right up No. Way, and left to another little rd. My first thought and only logical thought was they are doing some hoot owl loggting. That is starting very early in the morning so as to lesson fire danger. But immediatley it dawned on me that it was early evening and so this made no sense to any of us. As we continued up the mile long inlet to the inter section the light disappeared very quick. We were talking about these lights as we made the right hand turn at tht little gravel intersection and as we rounded the corner art about 25 mph, all of a sudden we realized thatthere was a craft directly over our heads at about 50- 75 ft, right on top of the tree line. I freaked as did my wife. I stopped immediatley and got out as did my wife. My kids were looking through the window at this craft. It was your classic round with lights all the way aroung it. I remember going whoa!!!!!!, what the!!!. As we watched it made a wooshing sound and lifted slightly and raised away. I swear to this.
