big luminous yellow light in sky that fades and then produces 3 more that blink and fade out

I will try my best to tell this as i can recollect. I left my home in Wabash, Indiana at approximately 8:00 p.m. en route to Kokomo,In. to see my girlfriend. I was on bypass 24 east around the area of the city Peru gazing up at the sky in front and to the sides of the vehicle. Plenty of stars were out and i always notice venus, which i know is commonly mistaken for ufo's. Well, after about 20 minutes i notice to the upper left corner (drivers side) a luminous bright yellow light of significant size glowing and just hovering there like i've never seen before. I would guess it to be just a little above a radio tower in it's reference to height in the sky.This yellow light had definately captured my attention to the fullest. Ok, so trying to drive and keep my eye on it without accident, it faded out for maybe a minute before glowing again. It did this a couple of times for reasons i don't know before 3 more of the same size lights appeared to what would be the right of whatever it was. These other 3 yellow lights (which were all in the same size) luminated in what i would describe in junction to the original light as going up in a quarter moon fashion. They stayed on only briefly before giving what i'm calling a blink in order from the first yellow to the fourth yellow and then it was done. I did turn left on county road 550 to try and get closer if not locate it after it faded but had no results. I have to admit that i am a believer in the ufo phenomenon and when i witnessed this it really made me nervous! It is really hard to say exactly where it was, but i do know that it was close to the Grissom Air Force Reserve Base in Bunker Hill, Indiana (roughly about 10 miles from where i was at the time) to make me wonder if it was montoring activity if any going on there. I did notice a reasonalbe amount of airplanes around so i knew i could dismiss the fact that it wasn't a plane. The planes were much smaller and appeared to be higher. After i reached my destination i told my encounter to my girlfr! iend wit h her knowing my interst in this she could tell that i was shaken . I never reported this to any law enforcement, media or the base, but now i wish i would have. I don't imagine they could have giving me any answers because there are a lot of skeptics, but i need someone to know that understands just what so many people are witnessing on a astonishing basis.
