On the 4th of October 2008 at about 8:30pm I was traveling with my wife along the Yorke Peninsula highway coming from Yorketown and heading toward Port Wakefield.
We saw a bright light that we thought was a car on top of a lookout we had stopped at earlier in the day, when we got closer we lost sight of the light and I said to my wife it could not of been the lookout because we have not even passed the lookout.
A little while later we saw the light again it was ahead of us, at first we thought it was a bright star/planet that we had been seeing near the moon for some days but then I looked and saw the moon and star off to our left. The light was like, perhaps the headlight of a landing plane, but I figured if that were the case and we were looking at a plane front on the light would have gotten closer considering we were both moving at speed toward one another but this light (pale yellow/dull white) was maintaining its distance about a kilometer ahead of us.
I continued to watch the light and slowly we gained on it, I lost sight of it occasionally behind some trees but eventually we found it again, it was off to our left and it was now two lights like the headlights of a car driving along side of us but in the air, I remember thinking that it looked like the headlights of one of the older cars that has the chrome collars behind the headlight giving the appearance of an elongated body behind the light.
After a minute of so it appeared to get further away to the left and then it turned into three lights that formed a perfect triangle (We have planes that turn outside our house in southern Adelaide and they never form the triangle like this) two lights were at the front with one light trailing behind, I don’t think they were separate lights because they stayed together too close.
After a while the light started heading ahead of us and was soon kilometers ahead, there were several colors flashing on the object including blue white and red. We watched and after several minutes the object came back toward us, it’s brightness was fluctuating, sometimes bright sometimes dull and sometimes the multi colors flashing it came back and we stopped the car, I opened the window to listen but there was no sound, we continued on our way and I kept watch out of the back window, after a while it got pretty dull I assume due to the distance we were from it but I could still see the flashing. I remember onetime looking out of the rear window seeing another similar light above and to the left of the first one and then the first one stopped flashing and the second one started flashing.
After that we lost sight of it in the lights of the city.
