On 03-10-09, roughly 11:30-11:40pm, I was driving East on US Route 64. As I approached the first exit for Nashville, (NC), I noticed an object hovering along, as if following, ALT US 64. This object was around 75-100 feet above the ground. I had thought it was maybe a military helicopter, but I began to think differently when I actually noticed the lights.I noticed that it did have 3 visible lights. Two red lights toward what appeared to be the rear, and a bright white light near the front. It was about 200-300 yards from me. I judged the size of the object to be between 40-50 feet wide between all three lights. I knew by then, that this was not a helicopter.The object proceed to hover over US Route 64 in a South-Southeast direction.As I approached the exit, I watched it disappear behind a small grove of trees, then came back into view. It continued to move in the same direction until it stopped and began to hover near a small shopping center.I stopped my truck (Tractor-trailer) on the off ramp and turned off the engine, then got out to observe the object.It made no sound. (Not even a humming or whirring sound.) The lights from the parking lot only slightly illuminated the object. I could barely make out a shape. It did look like a chevron shape, only thicker that made it look almost like a triangular shape.It continued to hover in that spot for about 5-7 minutes, then proceed to move away in the south-southeast direction. I continued to watch the object for another couple of minutes until it moved out of my sight.I had a small digital camera, but in my excitement of watching this object, I never thought to snap a photo.Sincerely,Randall BreasonP.S. I have attached a crude drawing of what the object looked like. The lighting that night was rather dim, but through that reflecting parking lot lights I could still make it out. It is the best description I can do.
