UFO Sight in the Domincan Republic

My mother, my brother, my sister and I were on our first vacation night of a vacation long weekend at my uncle's mountain cabin in the central mountain region of Dominican Republic known as Jarabacoa. The cabin had two stories and were sitting on the roof of the first story gazing at the stars. The sky was clear and we were able to see a beautiful show of stars that night. The back of the cabin faced the slope of the hill and we could see the other mountain on the other side and other lit cabins as we enjoyed the sky. After a few minutes we were able to see a moving spec of light low on the horizon and moving between the mountains and as it advanced it lighted the slope of mountains. In a manner of 30 to 45 seconds it was passing above and in front of us as we watched and looked at each other in disbelief as this thing was actually flying in a straight path leaving long streak of ligth green light and making no sound whatsoever and traveling at least 200 to 300 miles per hour. It continued flying between the mountains leaving it ligth green almost transparent tail which looked more like it was its exhaust or propulsion and ilumiating the slopes as it went by. What really stroke us the most was the absence of noice or sound a normal plane at that altidude would make to travel so low at that speed.

It continued on until we lost sight of it. We did not what to make of it since were quite young at the time. But even to this day we talked about this and we and remember the experience as it was yesterday.
