Light srteaking through the sky in San Diego, CA at 22:40 on 11/27/03 projecting white, green and red.

My fiancee (a 42 yr. old attorney) and I (a 32 yr. old stylist) were driving South on I5 when we noticed a white light flying rapidly through the sky in a south-easterly direction. It appeared to be much like a falling star, although it was far lower in the horizon and it lit an area about four times as large as a star would. It was white at first, then as it sailed Southward, it turned into a lime green color, then it desended further into the Southeast and turned red before disappearing suddenly. It traveled too fast and the descent was too fast for an airplane or helicopter - and- it was too low, too big and too bright to be a shooting star.
