UFO Sighting reported Red Orb hovered approximately 5 feet over road Gaithersburg MD U.S. 5/31/17

Driving north on MD 124 at mid-morning. Sky clear, no other traffic on the road. My wife and I crested a small hill and observed a Red UFO light approximately 100 feet in front of our car hovering approximately 5 feet above the road. The UFO stayed ahead of the car, then descended closer to the road and hovered there before rapidly accelerating to the right and up at about a 60 degree angle and into the sky. My wife observed the UFO orb as having very well defined edges. I saw red radiating rays of light emitting from the well defined edges of a Red UFO Orb. Total time of observation was approximately 8 seconds. We asked each other if we had seen the UFO, and confirmed we had. I noted the time and location of the observation and looked for any possible reflections or other possible sources for the Red UFO Orb. I noted nothing unusual about the road itself, or the grass/trees along the road. We continued to drive in silence, not quite comprehending what we'd seen. We independently recorded our observations. mufon cms# 84137 UFO Sighting reported Red Orb hovered approximately 5 feet over road Gaithersburg MD U.S. 5/31/17
