Full Description & Details

I was driving east on I-94 expressway and exited south on Southfield road in Allen Park Mi.As I Rounded the cueve and came out from under the viaduct I was startled to see 3 bright white lights.I slowed my vehicle as I thought a plane was going to crash in front of me.Thats when I noticed it was moving very slow.It came over the top of me about 500 feet,It was a huge triangle shaped craft moving about 20 miles an hour.As it went over me I drove up to a side street and turned around .I got out of my vehicle and looked but it was gone.It was amazing.I got home and went on the computer and typed in UFO and found a guy named Peter Davenport who has a UFO reporting service.I called him up and told him my experence.He refered me to a sighting in Idaho where some hunters had seen the same thing.They described it the same way.I had never heard of these triangles before.I started loking around the internet for info about UFO's when I found a vidio by Darryl Barker entitiled THE EDGE OF REALITY Theres a picture on the front of an artists redition that looks like what I saw.I contacted Mr barker and told him my story.He wanted to interview me as I've been an Aircraft Mechanic for 30 years and know a plane in the sky when I see one.The thing I saw was no plane.He interviewed me for 17 min.My interview is on his web site.I also talked to the other person he interviewed and we both saw the same thing.I used to be a skeptic but not any more.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
no

One guy at work two days later to me he saw on the eleven o'clock news that other people saw the same thing the same day as I did in the local area.I figured then I wasn't nuts or was seeing things.
