3 bright lights in the field that were never there before

At 3 in the morning,as I was driving my semi on rt. 18, a couple miles west of fiat Indiana, a road i've been down dozens of times , a light caught my eye in a field to the south of me. there were three very bright lights on the ground. they were about 1/4 mile back off the road, just setting there. 2 lights seemed to be right on the ground, maybe 100 yards apart. the third light was in the center and slightly higher than the other two.

like I said , i've been down this road every other night for the past 2 years... there was never nothing there except empty fields.. no houses, barns, nothing. the nearest house was another 3/4 miles farther down the road. the lights seemed to be pointing towards the road, illuminating the whole field in between me and the object. the light was so bright I couldnt make out any object they would be mounted on. the lights themselves had to be enormous. they were round and as near as I can tell had to be the size of a car. they were a soft bluish white light, but very bright. before I knew it, I was over the next hill and I lost sight of it, but I could still see the glow behind me behind the hill. when I arrived in indianapolis and unloaded , I came back the same way in the daylight. I just figured it was a new construction site that had just gone up the day before, and someone was building a new factory or something. when I arrived at the same hill and looked south, there was nothing at all.I slowed down and looked as well as I could at the whole area...nothing. that was a few weeks ago , I still go that way every other night and havent seen it since.
