I was driving home from class and was on the 408W around exit 12 or in Orlando. For those who don't know this route it takes you through the city of Orlando on this highrise style highway. It was around 9:30 PM and I was alone.
I noticed a red shine reflecting off nearby office towers, about halfway up the buildings total height. My initial impression was that it must be some kind of promotional thing or maybe an ambulance reflecting as the light was pulsing. Those thoughts were quickly gone when I saw what looked to be a red blood cell-looking object floating from in between the two buildings!
When I saw it, I got really excited. I have been intrigued by UFO's since I can remember and here was one maybe a mile away from me!
Then, without warning, it turned to its right and quickly glided over to my minivan that I was driving. As it flew over I noted how much it did in fact look like a giant red blood cell. It had this plasma-like transparent forcefield like substance surrounding it. And in the very center was this constantly glowing red ball. It would light up every other second and would make the entire plasma field around it glow a bright red. I also noticed that it didn't seem to reflect on the tree leaves - almost as if the plasma collected the light. It flew over, silently, to my van where it flew overhead for about a mile or two, right in front maybe about 15-25 feet. Tthe size of this object, with its plasma like shield seemed to be no larger than my minivan. As I'm watching this, I'm doing about 75 MPH on the highway and it must have been moving at the same speed because it stayed at an equal distance from me the entire time. After what seemed to be a couple minutes the plasma like substance surrounding the UFO faded out.
Shapeshfting UFO
The pulsating red sphere in the center of this strange object was spinning on its axis and began to create a yellowish sort of light that seemed more a result of the speed of its spin rather than just a color change. I watched this spinning go on and finally the spinning ball shape shifted and grew these wings! There were little lights underneath the tips. The left light was a white blinking, the right was a yellow blinking light. Underneath the center of this craft was stil the red pulsating sphere.
I felt awed. I felt as if I were going crazy, I questioned my sanity. I remember I looked in my rearview mirror and all the cars that were around me were way back, almost slowed to a crawl. And I also realized that no one was in front of me anymore
I looked again at the UFO. I don't know why I felt this way, but I felt it was watching me. But it was like it was showing itself to me, showing me, "look what I can do". I did not feel threatened, and I certainly wasn't scared of it. It was exciting. I was lucky to see this, so close. I felt what I was seeing was stunningly rare. And, I don't know if this will make any sense, but I felt like it was being coy or playing with me. I don't know why I feel that way but it left me feeling so pleasant by the end of this sighting.
I suppose now is the best time to say how I lost sight of this. As I was driving, there was a police cruiser with his lights flashing but NO siren, he almost hit my minivan when he slid in between myself and the ufo. The UFO veered off to the right where there were office towers. It flew to the top window and produced a very bright white light and it flashedaway. I was never contacted about it and I never saw anything about this on the news. I hope this information helps and, if you have any questions about what I have seen, feel free to contact me.
