I eye witnessed a floresent orange object that ended up darted off into deep space at light speed (lightning speed). It made no sound despite the great feat it managed. It was some type of unkown to man technology. It must have been nuclear powered.

[This event happened some years ago when I was about 22-23 I am 30 now] I was playing pool with a freind in his garage on a weekend night. Two of his younger relatives (around 12 yrs old at that time) then came running into the gargage with their hands up in the air yelling "look outside" "look outside" "hurry up your gonna miss it". My friend and I hurried outside with the two boys and they pointed to a strange object in the sky. It was a florescent orange object moving very slowly toward us. We whatched in awe for several minutes trying to figure out what it was. I coulnd't identify it as an aircraft because it didn't have blinking lights or even resemble anything I have ever seen (my dad used to own his own Aircraft Repair hanger, I have seen many types of conventional aircraft in my time). I could see a shadow of a structure above the orange glow, it must have been pretty large. Suddenly it dripped a large tear on fire (similar to orange molten lava dripping) down to earth. Next it folded over and we could now see two florescent orange glowing circles. The tear burn't out before it made it to the ground. It started to climb rapidly and all the sudden it darted off into space in a straight line at lightning speed (or maybe even faster). My friend later described the way it darted off as being plucked out from space (imagine a catpult slinging something). During our entire sighting it made no sound and left no trail. We were standing in an empty parking lot (Snell Rd / Blossom Hill Rd) behind the grocery store when we saw it.
