Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Shape was kind of like a blob. Not your typical thought of UFO with a saucer shape or lots of blinking lights. It reminded me of a very bright meteor but had the blue and green colors.

Size of Object(s)

It was about ten times the size of how the size of planet Venus appears in the sky.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It appeared to be around 20 miles away and was about maybe a mile high.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural setting

Full Description & Details

I live in a rural area in eastern Wake county. There are not many bright lights in the area so it's a good spot for viewing the heavens. About 10 pm last night,(dec 20th 05) I stepped out to the back deck to let my dog relieve himself. In the NE part of the skyline I noticed a very large,bright light traveling at a slow pace toward the ground. It lasted only a few seconds.It was so low, I thought it must have been a meteor crashing to earth. It either burned out , disappeared or I simply lost sight of it behind the tree line, but the duration of my viewing it was about 3 seconds. I ruled out fireworks because it was the sole light in that area and had no evidence that it was launched. It just appeared out of nowhere and was traveling at an angle toward the ground. As far as size, I would have to describe it as probably ten times the size that Venus appears in the sky. It had a very bright, green and blue color to it. I immediately ran back into the house and told my wife that I had just seen a once in a lifetime meteor crashing toward earth.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Possibly a meteor.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

UFO's and space have always been interesting to me. I have read about UFO's but can honestly say I have never seen one before this sighting. My first impression was that it was a meteor.

Other Comments

I stumbled onto this site by accident. After what I saw last night, I started to view local papers and news sites to see if it indeed was a meteor that lit up the sky. I saw no news reports so i typed in "meteor Garner NC" into google search and was shocked to see that someone from the same area I live submitted a sighting almost identical to mine only a few days ago! I do not know what it is but would love to know.
