Something in the Sky east of North Battleford

I was driving from the province of Alberta to province of Saskatchewan on July 22, 2023. I reached North Battleford at 2am on July 23, 2023. I decided to take a short cut through a remote highway (40 East) to my final destination - Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Please note, during this 280 km trip on highway 40 East I saw no other cars other than my own in either direction.

Approximately 25 - 50 kilometers east of North Battleford, I looked up into the black sky and saw an object which resembled an aircraft perhaps 2 kilometers above the ground. However, it was flying to low, to slow and the light formation on the front of the vehicle which appeared semi - spherical had an odd red light off/on formation I had never seen before. Please keep in mind I am driving about 100 km an hour down a remote highway and this object is visible in front and above me. I had to constantly look up for several seconds then down again at the road for safety reasons. I was trying to identify this vehicle in my memory bank when all of a sudden it displayed an orchaestra of blue and white light so bright the entire shape of the craft became visible in the dark sky. It was at least as long as a 747 jet and as wide as a luxury yacht. The color of lights can best be summarized from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". The object subsequently passed over the roof of my car and I could not look out the back window because my car was full as I was transporting goods in the back seat.

Thirty minutes and fifty kilometers later down the highway I see an array of lights perhaps 10 wide and 3 stories stall maybe 5 kilometers away. As the lights got closer the shape became more spherical and symmetrical plus each light became distinct. About 2 kilometers in front of me, the lights seem to descend into the horizon. Please keep in mind I was still driving at about 100 kilometers an hour in a remote area/highway which has many tall trees along the side of the road. All of a sudden, several hundred feet to my left and several hundred feet above me there was an object the size of a large house floating above the treeline. It was about 80 feet long and 40 feet tall. It`s base appeared cubed but the "roof" was the traditional flying saucer shape. Interestingly, the top of the flying saucer had a lighthouse component maybe 15 feet tall that I think surveyed the surroundings. In fact, I think the first object advised the second object to investigate me! My car is black with tinted windows, so perhaps I looked like a UFO as well! The object was travelling the opposite direction of me but much slower than the 100 kilometers I was doing. Eventually it fell outside my visual range behind me. This encounter was like the move "fire in the sky". I was practically paralyzed by the experience but my eyes kept recording all the details.

I continued to drive that night at about 100 km an hour. I was anxious to leave the area after my sightings. I now began to survey the skies for any more objects! Approximately 15 - 30 minutes after the second incident, after surveying the sky, I spot a moose with no antlers slowly crossing the road in front of me (maybe 60-80 feet) ahead of me. I screamed, hit the brakes and could hear the car skidding and back end shifting. I observed the moose subsequently speed up and by some miracle there was not impact with the 1000 lb beast which would have at least destroyed my car. Did I imagine everything? Well, if I did, I managed to drive home that night to Prince Albert (another 300 kilometers) and arrived in broad daylight (7am).
