WHILE PICKING UP MY CAR POOL BUDDIES THEY DREW MY ATTENTION TO A ROW OF BRIGHT LIGHTS ABOVE THE TREELINE THAT THEY HAD OBSERVED FOR APPROX.20 MINUTES.MY WIFE AND I EXITED THE CAR TO A SMALL BANK ON THE ROAD SIDE WHERE WE COULD GET A BETTER VIEW.IT WAS OVERCAST SKIES WITH VERY LITTLE LIGHT,EXCEPT FOR THE VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE OBJECT.WITH WHAT LITTLE LIGHT THERE WAS AGINST THE CLOUDS,THE OBJECT APPEARED TO BE A CYLINDER SHAPE.THERE WERE 4 LARGE LIGHTS ALONG IT BOTTOM,WHICH APPEARED TO BE IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT,APPROX. 30FT. APART.THERE WAS NO SOUND EXCEPT THE WIND BLOWING AT A BRISK GUST.MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS OF A BLIMP?BUT THE OBJECT MOVED SLOWLY AGINST THE WIND AND A PERFECTLY STRAGHT FLIGHT PATH.I WAS LATE FOR WORK SO WITH THE OBJECT STILL SLOWLY GOING THROUGH THE SKY.
