But, I would have thought all those cattle guards would have stopped it from escaping...Euclid in tennis shoes? Hmmm, looks like a runaway trapezoid to me.

That's about the best explanation I have for it. Cathy — Probably a car guillotine. That’s about the best explanation I have for it.

A fast-moving discrete well-defined block of swamp gas. I'd love to see swamp gas. But we have no swamps anymore! I've been racking my brains to come up with something I've seen that's unexplained AND that's interesting to someone besides me, and while there's plenty that's unexplained, there's nothing that's interesting. I will say that I've now personaly heard three anecdotes from level-headed people whom I trust who have observed things that are interesting and are unexplained. Well.

We were driving quite slow at the time as we knew that there could be livestock on the road in this region -- there's a lot of BLM range land around there and cattle frequently wander onto the road and, in fact, we found a black cow on the shoulder of the road just a half mile or so before. Not sure about the "kite" possibility. The colour of the object was more like battleship gray and it seemed to be turned so that it was slicing straight across the road. Again, the motion of it was very strange -- like something cutting from one side of the road to the other at about hood height of the car. Pretty bizarre and even a little scary. = Capthraw - Thanks for the image! As you'll see, I've moved your comment up into the main body of the post!
