Reported: 1999-03-19 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Sarasota, FL, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a bright light at a distance. When it got closer I noticed 5 lights on it. It was shaped like a blimp going approx 100-200 mph and flew right over my head (no sound).

I was driving down a country road approx 55 mph. I saw a light in the distance which I thought was a plane. As I drove the light was not getting closer just dimmer then brighter. I came to a "T" in the road. The object was very close now. I got out of my car and noticed a white light in front of the aircraft then 4 red lights in a row along the right side underneath. I thought it was some sort of blimp until I estimated it going 100-200 mph (approx 5000 ft high). The object flew straight over my head with no sound. I chased it in my car. The object then vanished. I thought I saw it reappear miles ahead of me for about 2 seconds. It was dark but not pitch black. No stars were in the sky yet.
