Saw very large object emerge from behind a hill in front of me on 408 Spur. Long row of lights too bright for me to see shape of craft.

I was traveling South on 408 Spur at approx. 2:00 A.M. in late December 1999. I was approaching a large hill which sits just off the Spur on the West side. I noticed very bright lights moving in the trees along the top of the hill and moving in Easterly Direction. My immediate thought was, "Hey, there is someone driving through those trees up there. I've never seen anyone driving around up there. Must be someone doing off road stuff. Wow the lights are bright, could be more than one driving around up there." As the lights got to the East edge of the hill where I wondered if I would be up to the hill in time to see them drive down toward the highway, suddenly the lights just came out from behind the hill in the air! I did not expect that! A string of very bright lights emerged slowly and stopped directly over the highway up ahead. I would estimate the length of the object to be about as long as Texas Stadium! I could not see the shape of it or the sillouette of it for the brightness of the lights. I continued driving but was stupified at what I was looking at! After it stopped, it reversed direction and proceeded to go back the direction it came from. (West) It disappeared behind the hill and very quickly I arrived at the spot where it had stopped over the highway. I looked to my right expecting to get a good look at whatever it was and all I saw was the lights of Grand Prairie, Arlington, and Fort Worth spread out in all their spleandor! There were no bright lights. There was no object. If it had been there and had just turned its lights off, I would have seen a sillouette with all of the city lights . It just vanished! I have been driving home from night shift for 13 years and this is the one and only strange thing I have seen in the air! My main reason for reporting this event at this time is just to edify you in your investigation. In case you received another report from someone else concerning this same event and my report could corroborate their report.
