This metalic disk had blueish plasma lighting coming from all around it

We'll this happened in 89 and I never told but only one person until now.Me and a best friend at the time where out cruising the country roads in Va Beach Pugo area heading toward North Carilina border.We crossed over the border and about maybe three miles in we started to notice something very strange out to the right of my car.It was very dark in that area and no streetlights or a car in sight.The sky was fluffy clouds like and what we notice was this bright blueish,whitish,lightning,flashing coming from one spot in the clouds.As we were still driving down the road the clouds started to open up a bit and we got an amazing look at this increadible disk like object just sitting up there hovering still as can be.This thing had lighting coming from all around it it reminded of one of those plasma glass things you see that you put your hand on and it does different things but only much much britter than that.I got a exellent long look at this thing.When the thing had lighning coming from it lit up the cloulds all around it and gave a reflection back at this thing thats how I seen it so well.It was a saucer,disk shape object,metalic looking more like satin stainless steal,it was about I say 60 to 80 feet in diamater,from top to bottom about no more than 7 feet.Also when this was all taken place my car radio had a lot of static the whole time.Anyway I pulled over the roadside to observe this thing and it stayed completly still and also it was absoulutely quit,and also at this time this thing was about maybe 700 to 1000 ft. away from the roadside where we was at.We were still observing for a few minutes and all of a sudden this thing just vanished as if someone flipped the light switch that quick.Me and my friend were totally scared out of are pants and we hitailed it out of there.I never could tell this story but I fell better now that I shared my experience with the public.
