Bright light in sky with no possiblity of stars because it was cloudy out changed colors then zoomed out of sight My mom, me and my brothers were going home after leaving the baseball field a little ways up the road from here, and I looked up and I saw a light that looked like it was above the mountain and at first I thought it was a star but then I looked out the side window up at the sky and it was cloudy so I asked my mom what that was, she didnt know so we stopped and turned off the car and just stared at it for about 5 minutes and after 1 minute it started to change colors it went from just a white light to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and the colors just kept changing and the lights started flashing, it just set there in the same place for a long time after awhile though it flew left and then it flew right and then it went back to the same place it was at and just hovered there for a long time, then it zoomed to the right even more and just vanished. Come to find out it was below the top of the mountain and there was no possibilty that it was a airplane or a weather balloon or a house because it is to far from civilization and there is no roads that lead up on that mountain but every since that happened once in a while there has been lights shining up like spot lights when it is late at night ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. We have assigned an arbitrary date above, until we hear back from the witness.

bright light in sky no stars seen moved around and changed colors then suddenly vanished Saw a bright light on the mountain thought it was a star for a minute but it was too bright to be a star, started changing colors after a minute or 2, went left and then right then zipped off to the right and vanished. it couldnt have been a house because nobody lives on that mountain and it couldnt have possibly been a star because no stars were out. A soft thumping noice was heard.

Bizarre light in small town that changed colors, other strange sightings within the same week. I know that I'm reporting this over a decade later but I recently found the notebook that I had this information written in. My husband and I were driving home after going to the movies and when we were coming down the hill by the baseball field we saw a bright light in the sky.
There were no stars out, it was very cloudy. We saw a bright light to our right, above the mountain. We had our windows rolled down the air felt as if it was electrified.
We parked at the baseball field and watched the light amazed at it. The mountain it was above it is impossible to go up it without being on an 4-wheeler. We watched the light and it started to move and change colors, it changed blue, green, orange, yellow, purple and white and every color in between.
All of a sudden it zipped towards us and vanished. 2 days later I was on my way back from the hospital and I took the same road to get home and I saw a light on the mountain, and it was changing colors just like it was the few nights before. About a week later on the other mountain that intersects with the mountain in which the original light was see it looked as if there was spot lights shining up in the sky.
Nobody lives that far up that mountain at all, that mountain is classified in another county. The lights that looked like spot lights were there every night for almost a month before they completely vanished.
