No of observers: 1

Location: Alton, IL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I watched a ship pass from my left to right, right in front of me.

A first I thought it was Vensus, but a few moments later it passed right in front of me, and Vensus was gone. The ship had 3 very bright lights, one at each corner. The ship was a little over the tree tops, moving very slowly. I was driving down the road at first but pulled over and shut the motor off. It passed right over me and I couldn't hear it. And also there was a blinking light but I,m not sure where. I was trying to see the ship it self, between the lights, but the light were to bright, they were all I could see. From were I first saw the ship to were I lost sight of it, the ship almost seemed to be following the course of the Mississippi river, as it never strayed very for from it.
