We were surrounded by these UFOs.

This occurrence happened in April of 1964 when I was 9 years old.  
My parents and I were driving to an auction sale on a rural road outside of Bancroft, Michigan.  All of the sudden, my father pointed and remarked that we had a "red light" ahead of us and it was traveling at the same speed as were we.  
I noticed that another red light was on the passenger side of our vehicle and then my mother noticed another on the driver's side of the vehicle.  
All of these lights were keeping exact pace with our vehicle.  
My father speeded up and the lights did, too.  He then slowed down to a crawl and the light did, too.  
We all got scared and my father turned around at the nearest crossroad and we proceeded to drive back toward home.  
The red lights stayed with us until we turned into our driveway and then shot straight up into the sky and disappeared.
Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate.  PD
