The object was round. roughly 30 feet across, it had 2 main lights like driving lights which were on beaming directly into the night sky. From the bottom of the craft there were different coloured lights reds, greens and blues. I was returning home from a get together with relatives, when i saw this object in the sky it was only about 50 feet in the sky.I stoped the car and got out to have a closer look, There where about a dozen people there on the side of the road all looking at the same object.there was no sound at all it was just hovering in one spot,after about half an hour the main lights on the front of the craft, slowly started to narrow until they were gone, and as soon as they were gone so was the craft.I made my way home,to find out 3 hours had past.From were i saw this UFO is only 8 miles by road. I cannot explain the time difference, from midnight until 3am.As soon as i got home i rang the Airbase which was 30 kilometers from my home, and they replied that they have had many calls on the same sighting as i had.
