I was driving along a rural road, going up a fairly steep grade just before the top when I noticed a blinding white light in my rear view mirror almost as if someone was approaching behind me with the high beams on but much, much faster.
Within a second or so a ball of blinding white light about the size of a 747 flew over my car from rear to front at about 300ft altitude heading in approximately the same trajectory as I was. The "overpass" occurred just as I was cresting the top of the hill. It continued in a straight line with no apparent movement from side to side or any noticable change in altitude. It continued on that path until it was completely out of sight which only took a matter of 2-3 seconds.
It had no sound what so ever, nor did it seem to emit any kind of heat. It was a clear night (visibility according to weather.com was 10.0 mi) and I saw absolutely no smoke, vapor trail or "tail" behind it. It was moving at a rate of speed that I cannot begin to describe. I have seen military jets flying at not much higher that this light was and they in no way could even remotely compare to the speed this was traveling at.
