Silent,red and green arc shaped object going over trees from left to right,twice.Small round light in center

On Sunday morning 8/31/03, I just got into my car and was about to start it up when through the corner of my eye I was distracted by a very colorful arc shaped, red and greenish blue light.

I was facing South, the arc was to my right, (west). It must have been a few streets over.

It happened so quick but I remember this: It looked as if it came up from the ground, on the left side of the trees, and went down to the right side. Like up,over and down. I thought wow, what was that? As I was thinking that exact thought, It happened again, in the same spot it started out.

I do remember a small round blinking light, but I'm not sure if it was in the center. At first I thought of a helicopter, but it definately was not.

It happened in a matter of seconds. I sat for a minute hoping it would happen again, but never did.

I do know that behind the streets, there is an open area where dirt bikes are used. Wish I could say more, but it was too quick.
