Highway 198
07/2005
My mom and I were driving home late at night after dropping my brother off at camp. It was her turn to drive, and was so dark outside (highway 198 has zero lights and almost no towns so it’s super dark out there), so I was enjoying seeing the stars for once. Suddenly out of nowhere a huge bright blue light just appeared in the sky in front of us - it burned brighter than magnesium and lit us the valley we were in as if it were daytime. The light hovered for a solid 5-10 seconds before splitting up into 4 or 5 pieces that shot off in different directions. We had never seen anything like it before and I’ve never seen anything like it again.
