While driving on interstate 70 west just before I-81 interchange I saw a bright white light in the form of a tube which was long and thin the ends were orangish with the center bright white. the object appeared to be moving at a slow pace at a curvature of the earth due north like a shooting star but was too close to the ground. I made reference to my wife about it and said this is the same thing I had seen before about a month or 2 earlier but she had missed it that time , well she finally saw it , after about 5 seconds it picked up speed and turned direction and was heading upwards now and heading due west in less than 5 seconds it was at the mountain range at the cut through for sidling hill at which time I noticed a second one coming from the south from west virginia. it went to the other one and then there were 4 at the mountain flying up and down at tremendous speeds as darkness began to fall all 4 went straight up turned a glowing orange and disappeared like a bright flame out.
