Washington C.H. sighting on old US 35

My friend and I was out driving in W.C.H. this afternoon, it was just after 8:00 pm. I was driving and she was in the passanger seat. We were on OLD US 35, leaving W.C.H. and about a mile from the Fayette/Ross Co line.

My friend says to me "Look, What is that?" I glance out my window and about a mile or so away is this incredibly bright object just hovering in the sky above the farming fields. (We where out there in the country.) I've seen plenty of things like airplanes and helicopters in this area and I know one when I see one. This WAS NOT one. I'd like to add here that it was not yet dark at all outside, the sun was still hanging in there and the sky was still blue.

I could see vaugely a bowl shaped bottom on it that appeared to be a silver color, but emmiting from it was the most blinding white light I've ever seen. Imagine if you will what a normal airplane looks like AT NIGHT, imagine the lights. It was like the lights times 100. The lights where so bright that it seemed beamy almost, the sun but a crisp, white color. (The sun was on the other side of my car, BTW. LOL) So I'm attempting to drive and watch this object that's not moving by my estimations and all the sudden, it's like the lights on the craft dimmed by 50% and I said to my friend "Did it just dim it's lights?" and she said "Yes." No more then five seconds later she says "OMG It's just gone!" So I looked agian and sure enoungh, it had totally vanished. I saw nothing. The car behind me started driving really, really fast and they took off around me like a bat out of hell.

So we drive down 35, cross the Fayette/Ross Co. border and turn around and come back. I look up and I see a bunch of jet stream or contrails in the sky, all going in the same direction where we had seen the craft. My friend counted ten of them in all. We didn't see them untill after the UFO had disappeared. It was amazing!
