Suspicious flashing light white light at Kemp Rd and Highway 98
I was driving north along Kemp Rd in northern Raleigh about 5 miles from high way 98. I saw an incredibly bright, white, flashing light above the trees ahead of the road. It flashed about every 4 seconds, very regularly, I could tell because it was flashing to the beat of the song I was listening to.
It was the size of a pin head when I first noticed it and it was a bit too high to be a tower, or any kind and I was too far out in the country for any houses to be around, there are no light poles or even power lines along that road. I know this area pretty well, I live just a few miles away and I drive on that road all the time, I have never seen anything like that out there before.
As I drove closer I went around a few turns and it was now on the right side of my car, it got a lot bigger and a lot brighter very quickly. At the biggest, I saw it through the trees, it was almost the size of the moon and it was bright, when I looked at the center it was so bright it blinded my vision, the center looked multicolored or black it was so bright. I do not think it ever moved but I cannot be sure.
I have never seen anything up in the air that bright, that big and not moving. When I could not see it I could tell it was there because it kind of lit up the area.
When I got to highway 98 I turned west back to my house. I could not see the light once I got onto 98, I drove down hill and the light was behind and to the right of me.
