Blue-green tube-like light descending in 60 degree angle from left to right, in S.F. Bay Area, Calif. June 13, 2001, 1:45 am

I am a professional painter. Diving northbound on 1-280 in San jose at 1:45 AM, June 13, 2001, I saw a blue-green(more green than blue) light which resembled neon, moving toward the earth from left to right at approximately a 60 degree angel. It looked solid, no trail or tail, and moved at a consistant speed, without changing direction, until it vanished at the horizon, around Mt. View.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke at length with this witness, and found him to be an exceptionally good observer and reporter of objective fact about his sighting. We suspect that his description is quite accurate. It surprises us that there was only one report to our facility for this event. PD
