Distance to Object(s) & Altitude1 to 5 miles Color of Object(s):green w/red vapor trail Full Description & DetailsI 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 BackgroundI was 20 years old at the time of the sighting. Currently, I live in Norfolk, Virginia in the engineering field.
