Full Description & Details

I was heading to Orofino Idaho about midnight from Lewiston at approximately midnight on Hwy 12 with a couple of friends when we saw what we originally thought was a shooting star. the object fell and looked similar to one except it's coloration was a bit odd. the "meteor" glowed a green color and it's tail was a vibrant red. when it neared the Earth it SLOWED DOWN!! once the object passed below a certain speed, the red trail disappeared leaving just the glowing green disk. Within a couple thousand feet from the ground, the object leveled out immediately and began heading away from us at a tremendous speed. We were travelling in a mountain valley and it sped down the valley until it made an abrupt 90 degree turn to the north and disappeared behind a mountain. The object did not slow down when turning. It was as if it grapped in imaginary point near the craft and rotated around it. I'm not much of a Physics major, but I do understand momentum. If I were travelling at...say...500mph and my craft made a right angle turn like the one I saw, someone would be scraping me off the inside of the craft since my body would still want to continue straight at 500mph. I am inclined to believe that these crafts generate their own gravitational focal point that "pulls" them in whatever direction the point is focused.

Witness Background
