I was on the way to Florida to pick up my kids and bring them back to Texas. I was really tired so I stopped at a best western 15mi west of monroe, la to get a couple hours rest. I awoke at 2am. My GPS told me to turn and I accidentally turned down what looked to be a service road. I realized that I made the wrong turn after travelling approximately 20ft. I began to backup. There was a sheriff that saw me and stopped. I thought he was going to mess with me about turning down the wrong road. But something go his attention and he pulled off. I was thankful for him not bothering me so I continued to back up. Once I was able to get back to the on ramp to i20 east, I saw that the sheriff just stopped in the middle of the road. As I approached, i20 in the ramp, I saw this object that was hovering slow and silently over the tree line travelling parallel to i20. The light the object had underneath was blindingly bright! it looked like something out of star wars! it was a round object smooth on all sides with two very large solar panel looking things attached one on each side. It was so amazing that I wasn't focused on the semi that was barrelling down i20. And that light was just so bright. Like a super hyper white light. I immediately stopped before the semi could hit me. Then this thing slowed down even more. As I pulled off onto i20 to continue my mission, I saw it in the rear view mirror hovering over the area where the sherrif had stopped his car. I've never seen anythin like this in my life!
