Time: Between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m.
My husband and I live in the mountains of NC and have witnessed exactly the same thing as described on your blog on two different occasions, years apart. If you have any updates or information on what this could be or links to any other eyewitness accounts of such an occurrence please pass the info. on. It's so strange to see it happen. Definitely not a meteor shooting horizontally or at an angle across the sky.
Both times the object seemed to appear out of nowhere, drawing our attention long enough to see it hover then drop straight down. The first time we actually drove as close to the location that we thought the object had fallen as we could to see if a plane or helicopter had crashed and found nothing.
We both knew it looked like nothing we would imagine a crash would look like, though, but wanted to think as logically as we could about what we had seen. The first incident happened over and almost directly in front of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort which is mildly populated. The second appeared over a rural section of mountains, sparsely populated, and we saw both while riding in our vehicle. We have since witnessed green shooting stars which are amazing to see, but look nothing like the other two objects.
Thanks for any other info. you may have.
Additional Information:
No, been kicking ourselves for not thinking to record the date and times. I can say that the first was in October of '99 near Sugar Mountain Ski Resort in Banner Elk, NC, above and almost directly in front of the slope itself. I'm thinking we were trick or treating with our son so that would make it Halloween and it seems it was later in the evening between 8:00 and 10:00pm. It was either '99 or '98 I know because both of those yrs. we flew from Washington state to visit family at that time.
The second, all I can say is winter, between '04 and '08 just west (south?) of Waynesville, NC heading west on highway 23/74. That's either in Jackson Cty. or Haywood Cty., not sure if we had crossed the line there or not. Hope that helps and thanks for responding. I have only found two other stories of anyone seeing such a thing and that was a few yrs. ago probably right after the second sighting.
I found some reports on a UFO sighting website where it had been seen in the North Georgia mtns. and in the mtns. of Alabama. They described it as green. The second we saw was more blue. I figured it was a southern mtn. thing, but not if it was seen in California. I can't remember the name of the website, but it was based in Seattle.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
