Bright Orb

Approximately 22:00 on or about June 15th 1992, Myself and my girlfriend had just returned to her home from a dinner date. We were sitting in a 1990 Geo Storm with a hatchback. As we were talking we noticed a light inside of the vehicle, it was so bright it seemed as though the sun was out. My first thought was that a street light had come on. There were no lights near the vicinity of the vehicle. The light shinned on us for a few seconds(maybe 20-30 seconds). After the light left the car we looked out the front windshield and saw a very bright shinning orb approximately 100 feet in front of us. The orb was about 30-40 ft in the sky, just above the trees. We watched for a few seconds as the orb moved around in the sky in front of us, then it took off at an amazing speed.
