Very close 15' a few miles

A friend and I were traveling from Monett, Mo and Springfield, Mo. on Hwy 65. This was around Oct 1968. Thought we saw a combine working in a field. Kept watching because it didn't look right. It moved directly in front of our car. Maybe 15 ft. in front about 10 ft. off ground. It looked metallic but details were hard to see because it was so bright. It appeared to be about 10' x 20' It stayed in front of us for a few miles then quickly took off. We didn't want to tell anyone but told my dad, he said he read in the newspaper a girl had a similar encounter in same area but her car died and lost all power. Power resumed after it left In our case I didn't want to influence my friends story so I asked what he saw. He saw the same as me. Put wrong date at top of form because this was so long ago
