LONG DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING REPORT

Long Description of Sighting Report
I was driving alone, heading north on I-15 from Victorville to Barstow at appx. 7:00 pm. A few min. after crossing the Mojave river I noticed two lights to the west of Quartzite mountain. They were pink in color. Quartzite mountain has several radio/transmission towers on its summit but these lights were too far to the west and too high to be on the mountain. The light on the right was higher than the one on the left. After only a few seconds the left light dissapeared then the right dissapeared as well. This got my attention and I kept glancing back at the mountain as I passed it. The mountain was on my left. When the mountain was at my 8:00 a bright flash went vertically straight down. It began above the elevation of the mountain and passed in front of it. It had the appearance of a shooting star, but 1. it passed in front of the mountain and 2. it was overcast to the west. Involuntarily, I said to my self, "Something is going on." No kidding, Sherlock. Not more than a few min. later, I saw a bright light above the horizon to the west. It was a white light with a red light on the bottom. Both lights were solid. The object would dissapear and then instantly reappear several miles down the road to the north-west, still above the horizon. It dissapeared then reappeared three times. After the third time the activity stopped. All this occured between the Stoddard Wells exit and the Hodge road exit on I-15. I have seen some interesting things since moving to the Mojave Desert two years ago from Pennsylvania, but this event takes the cake. I can't explain it but when I saw the first two lights I knew they were not "normal". No aircraft I know uses pink id lights, nor do they dissapear and reappear in an instant many miles from where they were a moment ago. I am a teacher, and a pretty cool customer (I teach middle school!), but for the rest of the night I was pretty shaken up about what I saw. I know I couldn't have been the only person on I-15 that saw what I saw that night. I hope someone else will come foward with this experience too.
