I was driving down a back road in Knoxville, TN on January 7 around 1:30am with two other friends. We where on our way to their house. We where just talking, then we all noticed out the front window a ball or orb light in the sky. It was several miles away, and I first I thought it could have been a falling star, but then I noticed that it was green. It came straight down a vertical line in the sky, I was just amazed at first, I think I even stopped the car there in the middle of the road. It didn't last too long just a few seconds and it disappeared in the middle of the sky. We started freaking out. I felt my stomach drop and my heart started racing, I thought I was going to be sick. Then just a few seconds later a street light blew out, then later another one blew out. I dropped my friends off at work and went home and told my mammow what had happened and what we saw. She goes and to tell me that around the sametime she was laying in her bed on her kendle when she saw a flash of light come from her window and she said it sounded like metal, she thought maybe I had come home and it was just my car so she went to the window but I wasn't there.
