As I was driving east on Interstate 85 near Huguley, Alabama about 3:00 AM on November 2, 2014 a disc shaped craft with two bright tubular shaped lights descended slowly from the west into my view. It hovered over the treetops along the roadside for a few seconds. I was on a straight portion of the highway with no other traffic and I just stared at the craft. There were no distractions of my view. The white lights were very clear and bright and not blinking. They were side by side on the bottom of the craft and seemed to extend its entire length. I could barely see the craft outline as it hovered because it blended with the night sky. The weather at the time was cool and mild and only partly cloudy with the temperature in the 45 or 50 degree range. After hovering for maybe 5 seconds it ascended into the southeast sky with incredible acceleration and disappeared quickly. Its departure was a very quick swooop upwards and I could not tell if it changed direction. I had just eaten breakfast at a Waffle House in Opelika with my son 15 minutes earlier so I texted him as well as my wife and told them "I just saw a UFO" as I was very much awake and somewhat in shock. I have never experienced a sighting such as this and I will never forget it.
