Bright light over rual Reno Area far from airports, changed colors and appeared to be following at a rapid speed

A friend of mine was driving myself and another friend back to Sacramento at about 23:30 headed west on 395. I wiped off the window so my friend could see better in the dark and as I did so I noticed a very bright falling light. My father having been an airforce man I know when it's a plane and when it's not. I saw that the light was falling straight down at a very rapid speed and the light didn't flash at all. The windows were rolled up so I couldn't tell if it had a sound or not. Toward the last few seconds the object turned a bright red, fading into a yellowish orange, then to a bright green before disappearing over the mountains.
