1990-09-20 - Level Cross, NC - Sphere

I and my mother and sister and dog were traveling from greensboro nc to a small commnity in randolph county when it orange ball appeared. As we entered into level cross nc, just turning on providence church rd. out of the lft. side of my eye a small orange ball shape object with neon type glow was zig zagging through the tree lines down in a revene.My sister was asleep in the seat between myself and mother. She awoke imeadiatley asking me if a saw a strange object and about that time the orange ball appeared 20 feet in front of the truck hovering. The object had increased in size from large pumpkin to about the size of volkswagon.From this point it was about ten miles to red cross and I contiued to drive as the object followed 30 ft above truck.The object began moving at irratic directions at speeds of light. As i was driving two white lights like head lights approached rapidly from the rear and as soon as the lights got to the back of the truck they shot streight up and disappeared. In the mean time the orange ball had grown to the size of hot air balloon.This object seem to be almost pure energy form with a personality. We had come to the end of the road which dead into state hwy 22 when the orange appeared over a large fieled. This object had grown to the size air craft carrier.The object started moving east and west at the speed of light. It hovered over the field again and about that time a another car appeared and a man got out and looked at me and looked at the ovious UFO and said ((obscenity deleted)) and jumped in his car and sped off. I was begining to get nervous myself with my mother and and sister screaming for me to get in the truck. I was driving Ford wrecker unit at the time and I decided to turn all the rotator lights on the truck. This seemed to startle the object and it made a slow upward climb making a humming noise like high tension power lines and then start poping and fiseling sound like hand held sparkiler and faded out and disappeared about 3-4 thousand above ground,WHOW! This trip should had taken about an hour but in reality it took about three hrs.To this day we dont know what happened to those two hrs of lost time.Never a day goes by I don't think of this sighting.
