On a warm summer night along I-75 south, between East Tawas and Flint Michigan; we had a "close encounter". I happened to glance to my right looking past my wife through the passengers side window at a brilliant white light on the western horizon. I brought it to her attention but thinking it was a planet we continued on. Suddenly it reappeared looming just outside her window. Frightened she slide down in the seat, while I pulled the car onto the shoulder slowing to a stop. She put her head down under the dash and I looked up through the windsheild as it slowly started moving overhead. I would say no more than a thousand feet above us circular turquoise lights on both ends with a rectangular pattern of strobe like lights, flashing from side to side as this formation continued passing parallel and over us. We jumped out of the car and tried to bring the phenomenon to the attention of passers by to no avail. Suddenly it disappeared but then on the eastern horizon there appeared three bright red, blue and green lights. These lights began dancing in an irregular pattern all over the sky then vanished. Getting back into the car and continuing on, further down the freeway passing diagonally overhead was a formation of four oval shaped pearlesant white lights in a cross shape moving in unison, very high in the sky. We never seen the physical shape of an aircraft; only the outline shapes of the light formations!
