Reported: 2015-09-09 13:04 Pacific
Duration: 2 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Lynchburg, VA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

A green and yellow glowing, circular light appeared in the sky falling toward the earth before fading out of sight.

Toward Candler's Mountain this morning around 4:40-5:00-ish, I was driving and on my way to drop my friend off at his work.

On a long stretch of bridge (over the James River), you can see a grand portion of the sky for a few seconds; within that few seconds, something somewhat large, extremely bright and colourful caught our attention over the downtown Lynchburg area.

It left a little bit of a trail behind it and it was a green and yellow light plummeting toward the city.

Before we could really stop to watch it it flickered out of existence, or at very least, our sight.
