We watched for about 5 mins but the object never moved then we finally lost sight of it. We could see the Chen trails from two planes in the same proximity and this was nothing at all like that, and MUCH larger. We did take a picture as we drove.

Mountain View, MO
Boyfriend, 11 1/2 month old daughter and I were traveling home from town, traveling west down our gravel road and my boyfriend spotted bright white light, that appeared smaller than helicopter size and was completely silent, following the car hovering at about tree top level. We stopped the car, I got out and made an attempt to snap a photo with my cell phone, the light was gone before the picture could take.
