I was driving back to my Mother's after visiting my brother in Ames Iowa, one of my younger brothers was sleeping in the back seat of the car. I noticed a bright star like object off in the distance slightly above the horizon. This is during sunset. I didn't think a whole lot about it, but the sunset was quite beautiful,so I thought I'd take a few pics out the window, thinking I may also catch the bright light. In the first two pictures you can see the bright light just off a windmill, in the third picture the light isn't there, but in the top right corner of the picture you see a yellow object, hard to make out the shape, maybe triangular? In the fourth pic the object is no longer there, but you can see 4 small whitish objects, not sure if they're related or not. I didn't notice the object in the third or fourth pictures until I got home and took a look. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this in this area. Have actually had a UFO fly over myself and an ex girlfriend about 20 feet or less off the ground, drove right under it, it appeared above us in a matter of seconds and after we went under it, it just floated out into a corn field, no noise, triangular in shape with a bright light in the center, this was 22 years ago and not far from where I saw this.
