Full Report Text:
Bright green light shot across sky, changed to white, then back to green, then disappeared. I saw light quickly move across the sky while I was driving. Initially I thought it was a shooting star and then I realized it was MUCH bigger than any shooting star I've ever seen.
In addition it was BRIGHT green and it was lasting longer than any other shooting star episode I've ever experiences. As I watched, mesmerized, the object moved further away from me (heading west) and it turned white and then back to green and then it was gone. I didn't lose sight of it over the horizon, it just simply disappeared.
I assumed it was a meteorite.but who knows. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Full Report Text:
Lights coming together to form a moving formation. My friend's girlfriend called him acting hysterical talking about seeing 7 lights in the sky while driving around. She said there were four in the shape of a square and three in a triangular shape.
The lights were orange- red in color. I was told by her over the phone to go outside and look, because her boyfriend's knee is injured. I went outside and saw the same thing but they were moving.
I eventually made my back into the house and told my friend who was upstairs still. I looked out the window to see if I could see anything, and i saw the four lights combine with the three lights, into what I can only imagine was one massive object, because when they moved close together a bunch more lights popped up around and they all moved together the left and eventually vanished. The Formation moved fairly slowly.
My friend had managed to hobble to the window to see the same thing, after he heard me yelling about it. His girlfriend got home and I and she went outside to see if we could see anything more, but nothing was out there. There’s no way it was a plane or orb lightning.
Wow. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).
