Wilksboro, NC

Traveling from Wilkesboro, NC, to Statesville, NC, on Highway 421, my friend and I witnessed one strange object as we were driving. It moved just a few seconds across the sky and then descended quickly straight toward the ground behind trees, which put it out of our sight. At first glance, we thought it was a huge falling star, but then it became clear that it was far too large for be a falling star, too bright and a different color. Neither has us have ever seen any a light in the sky the same color of this object. When first spotted, it was moving very fast, then seemed to fall to ground at a slower speed. It appeared that it moved a little closer as it was falling in front of us and the details became easier to see. The green light was outlined by a thin, lighter green haze and there was three other circular lights inside the green oval.
