nothing in the area, on the ground, that might account for the objects. The area

While returning
Highway 18, at 12:50 a.m., CST, 2 Nove 58, approximately one half
mile south of the State Highway . Highway 60 Junction, I
observed some orange colored objects on the horizon directly ahead.
Within a few seconds the objects easily recognizable to be four in
number, the shape of a disc, and yeling at a terrific rate of speed.
I turned to 1 my friend and asked hir look at the objects, but by the
time he looked, they had disappeared c the roof of the car. He tried
to see them out of the rear window, but with no success. We were driving
approximately 50 MPH, and although I slowed down, I did not stop. A day
later we were discussing the objects, and we commented on the fact that
we had heard no noise.
