Large sphere above the American River

Myself & three others where driving up hwy. 50 north towards tahoe, when we looked over to the passenger side of the car... appx 500 feet off the hwy, right above the American River & about 20 to 50 feet above the tree line, we saw a LARGE Sphere shaped hovering ufo... it had gold colored lights on the top & bottom. just below the top "light" there was a strip of circular lights(multiple colors, white red blue green yellow/gold) spinning to the right... same thing at the bottom of the craft, except that the lights where spinning in the opposite direction(to the left). there was also a similar strip of lights around the middle of the craft, but they where stationary. in between the middle and the top & bottom of the craft, there where what looked like thousands of bright BLUE windows... all in all the thing looked very similar to a disco/mirror ball, except that it had lights spinning around the top & bottom.

I'm not sure how long it was there for, it was there when we saw it & we did not stop. we just kept driving. myself & 1 other person saw this sphere shaped ufo, because we where on the passenger side of the car & awake... the driver could not take their eye's off the windy road, & the person next to me was asleep as far as size... it was pretty large, I'd say at least a couple of football fields wide & high. there was no sound what so ever coming from the sphere... I rolled down my window & all I could here was the car I was in. & the area I saw this thing is not populated, at least not very many people live out there, maybe a house here & there, nothing big enough to explain what I saw. 1 more thing... when I looked at it, I felt as if I was on stage with a million eye's looking at me, you know that feeling when some one is staring at you behind your back.
