Full Description & Details

As I was halfway down my 750 foot long driveway, a green light suddenly appreared in the sky, moving south at a perceived very high speed. The initial impression was that of a meteor, except that it was green instead of white or yellow and left no trail. It moved so fast that it was in sight only a couple of seconds, disappearing behind aome tall trees on my property.

Now, at the risk of sounding like a regular sighter, I experienced a very nearly identical sighting about 6 years ago. On that occasion, I was on the highway when I saw the thing. Another person was with me and saw it also. Same apparent trajectory, same extreme velocity. I mention this mainly to explain why, on the more recent occasion, I instantly shut off the car and jumped out to see if I could hear anything. No sound at all, and I live in a very quiet part of the woods.

This time, as it turned out, my girlfriend and her daughter also saw the object or light. They were about twenty miles south of my place, traveling south when it appeared, apparently on the same southerly trajectory as when I saw it. Although we can't know exactly, our estimate of the time (we had had dinner together in Sandpoint, then she traveled south toward her place while I came north to mine) puts the timing very close to coincidence. I called the local authorities and the newspaper, but could find no other reports of this thing.

My best description of the object is an intense emerald green light, very well defined, moving approximately north to south at a perceived extremely high speed. I'm not an expert at estimating altitude or size, since they would obviously be relative in this case. I would say that the object seemed so well defined that it appeared relatively close. However, I've worked among scientists and technicians long enough to know not to trust any observation you can't actually measure.

I decided to report this sighting here because I Googled up the nearby report by the person in Vermont who saw something that sounds very like mine. If there's any way you guys can put us in touch, please leave a message.

Witness Background

College educated, former tech at national nuclear lab, current small businessman.

Other Comments

I'm not looking to get drawn into any conspiracy/abduction/weirdness. However, I thought these two sightings were worth reporting, since I do consider myself a reasonable and sober person. This object appeared to exhibit ballistic behavior while at the same time looking like something with technology beyond my experience.
