A triangular shaped object with lights was seen moving erratically at a high rate of speed above a busy highway.

Triangular shaped object appeared on horizon at approximately 9:15 p.m. and first appeared to be a planet or bright star. Object was seen from a moving vehicle and rapidly approached to within 600-800 feet of road before stopping to hover in air above road. Now revealed to have 2 different colored lights (red and white) on points of triangle. Third, greenish-colored light appeared on third point of triangle, and the lights continued to slowly alternate colors before stopping with original red and white lights. Craft continued to move upward and to the south with erratic movements, moving approximately 2 times as fast as a commercial jet airliner.
