Driving down the highway 37, 1 mile south from intersection 37 and Hwy 50 intersection, with the family off to east of the road at 7:14pm, we saw large lights close to ground. We could not tell how far away lights were. Everyone in the vehicle noticed because we had similar event last year in same general area. The large lights started to ascend into air while they would be vivid orange and then pitch black. It looked like it was almost generating energy during black stage because when lights would appear again it looked somewhat glitched, then lights spun around which looked like a half circle to boomerang shape and became more vivid. The lights them self looked like as if looking into a conical shape of a flashlight. It went very fast into a westward position and went black and gone. Next we looked up trying to find it and it was gone but 5 planes/jets were in the area above it. We have always watched the sky in this area, because last while coming home in same area on January 28 and 8:40pm, we {all 5 people in my family} were driving west to get to Hwy 37 when I looked up to the west in the sky and said "Oh my God look its a UFO." My kids began to panic and scream and my husband freaked out after seeing it. I wanted to stop and watch because I was excited, but my family was screaming and trying to rip themselves out of the car. At this time the object was moving in a west to eastward position. It was very large it started with 3 large orange lights, then went black & seemed to hover and then fanned out into about 9-12 lights. It was as well, boomerang to half-circle shape moving at a good speed after it was done hovering. We kept driving because my family was freaking out. We watched that for about 2-3 minutes as well. so from this event last year to this event yesterday my family tends to always watch the sky in this area.
