1978 sphere inside cloud over Ukiah Valley, Ca beams of light radiated out from it after a few minutes

I was driving home thought the Ukiah Valley and the top of my windshield was lite up. I looked up and a cloud had a light inside of it. I pulled over and a hitch hiker was also looking at it about 1/2 mile down the road. At first it was a cloud but little by little I began to see a sphere. Then beams of light came out like the star of Bethlehem. I didn't know what was happening. I had my camera on my car seat and thought to take a photo but for some reason didn't. Then it slowly drifted to the west and went behind some hills but the sky was glowing about the hills. I drove home and by the time I got there I had forgotten all about it! The next day the Ukiah Daily Journal had a front page report of dozens of people reporting it. Then I remembered but couldn't get the details. It took days for it all to come back. I have also seen the same UFO in photos over Montreal and Mexico City.
