ca 11 p.m., small light following close behind me as I was driving. I stopped at a gas/food mart for ca 20-30 minutes then resumed driving. Again the small light was following. My brother and I stopped and got out of our car. As we approached the rear of our car, the "single" small light split into 3 lights,one above the other then all 3 darted off and out of sight. We continued on our way. We then saw what appeared to be a small meteor fall and hit the earth not far from our location. We stopped, got out of the car and that is when we saw a large, disc shaped ship with multiple lights. To make a long story short; for around 5-6 hours we saw 2 large ships which were stationary most of the time, otherwise moving very slowly. At times one seemed to be above the road and very much appeared to "lift" another vehichle up and into the darkness, at which time it and the vehichle lights were cut off. There were 5-6 vehiclss which were out in the feild alongside the road, (on the otherside of fence). 2 of the cars, that we know of, had an unconscience person within. One particular event which I thought to be quite fascinating, was one of the "mother ships", above the road in front of us and very low, (100-150 ft high), slowly flew away from us. We followed up the hill. It changed it's row of lights to one bright light on its left side & 2 lights on its right. It then flew out of sight, very slowly, over the hill. As we crested the hill, we saw the same lights on the ground ahead of us, as we approached we realized they were lights at a farm house. The UFO "tricked" us. They knew we were following and knew how to trick us with their lights. For 5-6 hours we drove up and down a 2-3 mile stretch of road observing these 2 large ships, 3-4 smaller ones and an unusual, small cloud full of small, vein-like lightning. AT one point, toward the end of the event, My brother and Into the dark. were standing together in front of our car, the headlights were on and in front of us about 10 feet or so were 2 umm, "aliens", or so we assume. They were probably 6 1/2 feet tall, wearing a light colored suit, one piece I guess, with a V-neck ( I think?). They slowly 'drifted' backwards away from us and into the dark. Neither of us remember what we were doing prior to seeing them in front of us. Too much occurred that night to write here. This occurred about 15 miles east of Ely, nevada on july 19th, 1990. Wish I would have told you about it years ago. I wrote down the experiance the following morning, just after it happened.
