It was a little after 10pm the night before school started in August 2015. I was leaving my house to pick up my daughter in Romeroville. I was driving down my driveway (about a quarter mile long) when I saw a sequence of flashing red lights. There were 5 to 7 bright, large red lights flashing one at a time in a row. They flashed like “1,2,3,4,5...1,2,3,4,5” and so on. When I got to the road, highway 84 just passed Los Montoyas, I could see that the lights were across the street, on top of the plateau type hill in front of me. I tried to think it was emergency vehicles or a road block up on the hill but there was no way it was anything like that. The lights were much to large to be anything like that and with them blinking in a row, one at a time, it was not something I’d seen any emergency lights do. I drove very slow all way down the driveway and stopped for a few minutes at the road where my gate was. I was afraid to get out to open the gate but I had to! go get my daughter, so I did. The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes. After I picked up my daughter at the Giant gas station in Romeroville I told her all about it. I guess I was expecting to see it there, just like when I left but when I pulled up to the gate it was gone. Now I wish I had taken a picture or video of it. At the time I was too scared. I remember thinking that maybe I would be abducted if I took a picture. I’ve never seen anything like it before or
