Object with spinning colored lights encounters police car. Explanation: Planet.
A police officer observed an object in the southwest. He thought it was a plane about to crash, although no sound was audible. He tried to contact the police headquarters, but his radio transmitter did not work properly. The object, which now colored lights spinning at the periphery, and a diameter of 16 meters, came within 25 meters of the patrol car, following it for one kilometer, then flew off toward the northwest. The witness had been a policeman for ten years, and had never seen anything like that object. Objects were observed from a car. Electromagnetic effects were noted.Four multi-colored delta-shaped objects, of huge size, were observed by one experienced male witness (as reported to the police) in a rural area for 140 minutes.
