Shape: Unknown
Duration: 5 minutes
Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
for every government agency would finally put the rumors to rest and tell the truth

I was traveling eastbound on I-10 when I suddenly seen lights more than 10 from my view the lights where on the rear of the object because it also was traveling the same direction as I was. I noticed it when I was approaching vineyard avenue in the city of ontario, California on I-10.

The object at first in my eyes was a plane preparing to land on Ontario airport which is just south of I-10 approximately 1-3miles when I seen it but then to my surprise it when back in the same northern direction where it came from the for approx. 1 minute then it does a 325 degree turn for what I dont know when it could of just veared right instead of almost making a 360 turn for no reason. Like it was lost. After the 325 degree turn it was traveling East and continues for the next 2 minutes the it slowly turns a little bit and heads North East. My eyes where focused so much on this object that I missed my exit not one offramp but two. After realizing I was about 5 miles from my missed exit I immediately got off because at this point the object was to faint to see anymore. When I first saw the lights on this object it approximately was about 2-3 miles, I could see the objects shape or form, But the amount of lights that where horizontal on the object from my distance seemed like a wingspan of a jumbo 747 jet. I also noticed alot of other flying objects around the sky which looked like planes and helicopters all aroung the Inland Empire as if they where sent to observe the object. I also looked at the person driving in his beige trcuck to see if he was also observing what I looked at. But to my dissapointment he wasn't. All I could say is that im not the only individual that night go wisualize the incident.
