I was on route 12 traveling north from utica ny and took the rt. 8 ramp toward poland and speculator. while coming up the ramp i spotted very bright lights in the field to my left. my immediate thought was someone was out in the field with truck headlights jacking deer. i thought the lights were very bright for a truck but felt immediate anger for harming the deer. i traveled about another 500 feet when i saw a large flying craft bank to the right over the treetops and stop in midair in front of me and slightly above. i'm not sure how far out in front of me i couldn't tell how close it was because the lights were so bright angled directly at my car. i stopped the car in the middle of the road. i stared at it for maybe thirty seconds. i knew what it was immediately. i knew that they knew i had seen them in the field. i was frightened. i couldn't believe this was happening to me. the craft leveled out and without a sound it passed over my head about...Maybe twenty feet above me. my face was almost against the windshield watching it glide over my head. as the blinding lights went past me i was able to see the shape of the craft. it had a cigar shaped center but it had wings that were curved toward the back. it was about the width of the road. i looked in my rear view mirror and saw another car coming off the ramp. they were probably going sixty miles per hour and here i am stopped in the middle of the road. i sped off and drove home. i'm in shock and constantly looking into the fields around me when i'm driving. i'm hoping that telling you my story will put my mind to rest.
