I left the house at 5:00am. it was dark and the sky was clear. i could see all the stars. i remember standinding at my truck and thinking it was a beautiful morning. i got in my truck and drove about 2 miles up the road and seen something flashing to my left. i slowed down to about 5 mph and then pulled off the road to watch it. it was glowing red and v shaped and as wide as a football field. it was as low as a crop duster plane fly’s. there were 4 white orbs that looked to be the size of a vw volkswagen and they were solid white balls of lights. the orbs were at about half a mile away from the large v. one ahead like a leader, one behind and one on each side. all 5 were stationary for 15 minutes. the leader orb and the big v slowly headed east to carmi illinois.Still low to the ground. then the 3 remaining white orbs lights went dim and followed. then all 5 lights went out. then i drove into town in mount vernon and as i was passing west elementary school a huge white orb lite was traveling from north to south at such a high speed i could not follow it with my eyes.C
