11/05/07 21:00p.m. 10 miles N of Tonopah, Nev. Cigar shape with 3 bright red/orange circles inside instantly appeared and 5 sec. later iWe saw while heading South, about 10 miles NE of Tonopah Nevada. What appeared directly in front of our car about 2-3 miles ahead and about 400 feet off the road. A cigar shape with 3 bright red/orange circles inside the cigar shape outline. They looked liked the rear exhaust end of a jet engine at night. The object appeared and then 5 secs. later totally instantly disappeared. It never moved then just gone.This was observed clearly by my Wife and Myself. We are both 50 years old don't drink and have always been a little sceptical in regards to UFO's. Anyway once we got to Tonopah we discussed with a clerk at the gas station. We were then told about Area 51 which is adjacent to the area we observed the UFO in. I would be interested to know if there were any other sightings that night in this general vicinity.
