Driving down I-75s looked to my left over east ridge area and saw to orangish bulb lights in the sky 30-40' across and one of the lights would go dim while the other stayed lit and one of the lights would get closer, higher or lower than the other light. Could not confirm shape but seemed to be round or dish shape

Ringgold, GA

My wife and I were driving down the interstate towards the Cloud Springs Rd exit and directly in front of us in the sky flew a green ball of light from left to right, which I believe is East to West. It was very visible, and my wife actually thought it may have been a crashing plane until I reminded her that planes don't glow green. I imagine it may have been a meteor burning in the atmosphere, but I wanted to report it anyway. It was brilliant, and the first time I've seen something like this so clearly.
