Today, a video appeared on several UFO channels showing either a UFO or a UFO-like object, most likely belonging to the US military.  The video is interesting not so much for the picture, but for the description of the whole story by an eyewitness-a truck driver, whose column fell to the " Martians” under the distribution:

I was driving the third truck in a column of four, and we were driving together from Oakland to San Diego, hauling the musicians ' clothes after the concert.  At about 3 a.m., I happened to see a light shining in front of us, about two miles to our right, and it went out. I didn't think much of it, thinking that someone was shining flashlights at the deer.

Then the light appeared again – a bright beam struck from somewhere above directly above us, from a height of about 100 feet (30 m). Then the lights went out, when all of a sudden I saw these parking lights taken by the recorder, as it were. The object crossed the highway, turned north and began to actively maneuver.  The guy in the other truck also watched it, noting that the object hung several times. 

Suddenly, either this object or a similar one appeared on the other side of the cabin, on the passenger side. A bright light from three sources hit the window. He was so close, I thought the thing was going to hit me. But the object slid over the cab and went somewhere up, out of sight of my windshield. 

In the morning we had a stop and I decided to look through the registrar. The cameras are set up to look at the hood and the road, so that the object should not fall into their field of view. But he did. 

 I estimated that the vehicle was between 30 and 50 feet (9-15 m) above the truck in front of me. With a high degree of certainty, it could be said that this thing was about 14 feet (4.2 m) at its widest point and probably about 20 feet (6 m) long. It hung low enough to compare its size to the width of the lane and the size of my truck. 

Could it be some kind of military drone? Maybe, but the drone didn't have any propellers or any other fan system. In addition, he maneuvered very dangerously and it is unclear why the military needed to create such a dangerous precedent on the road. 

Finally, what completely confused me – I did not see what was happening on the video, although everything was happening in front of my eyes. The light that fell into the cabin was something different-not the same as recorded on the camera. 

The video was posted on MUFON on June 17, although, as the author pointed out, the incident itself occurred back in 2016.

Original news

Mutual UFO Network : MUFON SUBMISSIONS : Four semi trucks buzzed Long Description of Sighting Report I was the third truck of four, that were running together. We left Oakland after a concert we were touring with, headed to San Diego. At about 3am I happened to see a light shine out across in front of us maybe two miles or so ahead of us on the right, and it went out. I didn't think much of it. I thought at first someone was shinning deer. Than I saw a beam shine downward but didn't see anything else. The origin of the light looked to be about 100ft above the ground. Then it went out. Then you could see white marker lights as it crossed the 5 and turned north on the other side and came at us. before it reached us it turned back and went south and crossed back over the 5 to the west and the lights all went out and I couldn't see it anymore. The fella in the truck in front of said he saw it off the the right just sitting there hovering. I saw light shinning in my passenger side window coming at me from a little behind me. I thought it was going to slam into the side of my tractor. It came straight at me. There were three very bright white lights across the front edge ot this thing, shinning right into my side window. It came to almost a complete stop, rotated tipped up on its edge and slid over the top of my tractor, and out over the front of my windshield. When we stop later that morning, and I stopped my video cameras to go back over that segments to see if it got recorded. I didn't think it would catch it, because the cameras are set to look down out over the hood of my truck to the road in front of me. I would estimate that craft was about 30 to 50 feet above the truck in front of me. With a high degree of certainty it would say that this thing was about 14ft at it widest point. probably close to 20ft long. My tractor is 19.5ft long and 13.4ft tall. As it came over and out into view I got a really good look at it (see drawing) the edge of this was slightly larger than the light placement on the underside. Interstate lanes are 12ft x2 plus 11ft for both shoulders, that's a total of 35ft. This was just a little larger than a single lane. Smallest Cessna has a 32ft wing span, and crop dusters are 34ft. this was no plane. it had no visible propulsion system. It could be a new military style drone. but can drones hover without propellers or a fan system? More to the point, why would the military put people on the highway at risk. Im still baffled that there is absolutely no light flash in my cab when it came at me. should have seen the inside of my cab light up in the video. Just another strange aspect. I would have to say my buddies where really excited over this event, trying to put it into some kind of contexts. I tried to tell them you can't. You'll always have this with you, wondering what it was. i told them this was the third time I've had events in very close proximity with arial phenomena, and it wasn't even the strangest, and if you tell it to people that have never experience something like this, they'll tell you, what you saw, isn't what you saw. When we first saw it and it crossed the 5 heading east, a couple miles ahead of us, had it kept going straight, it just would have been a low flying airplane under 500ft. At night!
