For many decades many of the most unusual events remain unknown due to the fact that at that time the witnesses did not have a modern phone and was not able to present substantial evidence. It's great when after so many years people are gaining the courage to tell about the most unforgettable day for them.

It happened after noon on 10 July 1999 near Rancho Santa Margarita in Central California. On a clear and Sunny day right before moving on the highway the car suddenly appeared a glowing ball.

A strange object the size of a beach inflatable ball was not like a solid body, it seemed that it consisted entirely of light that shimmered and changed their color. It was so bright that, even though the middle of the day, blinded the occupants of the vehicle guys who are a bit panicked and could not understand what to do.

"He moved 10 metres in front of my car and seemed to be supported by the same speed - said the witness in his report, which he filed at the world UFO network (MUFON) 19 Feb 2017. – I moved with a speed about 60 km/hour and not to crash into it, slowed down".

However, the object then slowed down along with the car and when the driver again decided to increase the speed of the UFO did the same.

"And then... he just disappeared. We saw him a few seconds, maybe 10 or 15 seconds. He disappeared just as it appeared, vanished into thin air."

The driver claims that he and his friends could not be the sole observers of a glowing ball. Their band at the time was moving several cars.

"In our world, then there were no iPhones and smartphones, so none of us took any pictures or videos," added at the end of the report, the eyewitness and put the image that they have created themselves using Photoshop and showing what happened with them really.

Original news

On a clear and sunny day, in broad daylight, on a very familiar road, while driving my car with some friends... What I can only describe as some kind of a "ball" of light (about the size of a large beachball) appeared, very suddenly, out of nowhere, directly in front of my car. In a bit of a panic, I asked my friends if they saw it too and they all definitely did. We were stunned and not sure what to do. It appeared to be floating/hovering/flying about 3 feet off the ground, and it was moving with us. There was no physical structure to it, as it appeared to be literally made of light. The light varied in color and was dynamic, not static. It was almost impossibly bright, like no other light source I've even seen, even though it was the middle of the day. It appeared about 30 feet in front of my car, and it seemed to be matching my speed. I was going about 40 mph at first, but I slowed down a little bit, not wanting to drive into it... but it seemed to slow down with me, remaining the same distance ahead of us. Then I sped up a little, and it did the same thing, matching my speed and remaining directly in front of my car. And then... it just disappeared. It was only there for a few seconds... maybe 10 or 15 seconds... before it vanished, just as it had appeared, into thin air. Also: There were definitely other cars on the road with me that day too, both behind me and in the lanes next to me and slightly behind me, but I have no idea if anyone other than my friends and I saw it. This happened in a pre-iphone/smartphone/cameraphone world, so none of us got any photos or video. (the image I uploaded was created by me, years later, using photoshop and a screenshot from google street-view of about where it happened.)
