It was still daylight and we had sixteen miles until our destination. We drove and missed the first Mt. Sterling exit … but no big deal because the second exit was only another four miles past the first. That’s when I realized how much was really wrong because we’d passed both exits and it was almost dark. We turned around and started eastbound back toward Mt. Sterling. Somehow it was now full dark.
At the very next overpass off the right shoulder by about fifteen was this big, oval metallic thing floating in mid-air twenty or twenty-five feet off the ground. It was a big long straight stretch and we could see it as we approached for a long time. I remember thinking at the time that from a distance it was cigar shaped but the closer we got until we could see it from the bottom it looked saucer shaped, so it depended on the angle you were seeing it from exactly what shape you might think you saw. It was solid silver and all around the top side from what I could see looked like window shaped indentions but they were silver too. It was almost like I was hypnotized by it because I had slowed almost to a stop as we approached it and started pulling off the highway to the shoulder. The lights were all around the outer edge and on the bottom. There was a vibration, sort of rhythmic, that you could sort of feel reverberating through your chest but there was no sound, no air displacement stirring up the nearby vegetation, nothing to suggest a propulsion system we might be familiar with. It didn’t have any markings or emblems. We were out in the middle of nowhere on a totally empty stretch of interstate. We are both professionals.
