Greenish-Blue Ball seen near Parkers Cross Roads, TN

On January 7, 2008 while travelling eastbound on I-40 past the Paerker's Cross Roads Exit, at mile marker 110 I saw an unidentified flying object, the time was 10:03 pm. There was very little light pollution and the sky was the clearest I had seen for at least a week. The Object was a "round" greenish-blue ball that moved from the North to the Southeast not in an arc, rather in a straight line. This was not a shooting star as it moved extremely slow, I would estimate the altitude at 13,000 ft, and as I indicated earlier the trajectory was not in an arc. Judging by the trajectory, this object may have landed in a nearby Tennessee State Park. Upon following a truck to the Hurricane Mills, TN exit at a fuel stop there I asked him if he saw the same object and he indicated as such that he had seen the same object. I travel a great deal in my Job Duties, often at night due to the lighter traffic around metropolitan areas of Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville, TN. I have seen other aerial phenomenon during the other that I travel but none not quite as unusual as this. First the color of the object, speed and travel path. This object was not of earthly origin. I told this story to my girl friend who said I should contact your website, which I have and am thankful to "air" this matter in your forum. I have a PhD and am not deranged or a mental case, again thank you for hearing me out.
