Unknown falling object in Needles, CA.

On October 6th, 2014, ((sic. November 06th, 2014)) around 10:30 pm I was driving east bound on interstate 40 just about 7 miles east of Needles, California, I was going to do a job on a big rig that was broke down on the rode which is pretty common for me to go out at all hours, many times when I have been on the road at night I do see falling stars, well on this night while me and my son were driving we both saw an object in front of us about ten miles ahead across the mountain top a bright green light going straight down at a very hight rate of speed and disappeared behind the mountain, at first my son said did you see that falling star and stated wow I never seen one like that before dad, and I replied, son that was no falling star or shooting star, that was something I have never seen, my guess is as it seemed to not slow down at all as we seen it that it must have hit the ground on the other side of the mountain top, no noise was herd and for the next few minutes while driving saw not! hing else.

I have my theories, but will keep them to my self.

I was driving west on I40, west of Needles, CA. about 3:30 am. There were many semi trucks on the road who probably saw this, too. It is a very desolate desert area.

Suddenly a bright blue light illuminated my whole car from above. Even though I was alone, I said "what the hell is that" and had to lean forward to look up through my windshield. I saw a huge blue light streak from above my car off to the right side of the road. It stopped in mid air and appeared to be a extremely bright, icy blue colored ball.It then flashed even brighter and vanished. It did not hit the ground as say a meteor might. The only visible color was blue. I had no way to determine the real size or distance from me. A grapefruit held at arm's length was about the size of the ball as I could see it from my car.I am a professional artist and have never seen a UFO or anything like this before.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 66169
Occurred: 1981-03-15 00:00 Local - Approximate

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Needles, CA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Approximately early 1980- 1981 I was climbing the mountains west Needles CA. I heard over a CB radio that a ball of fire was coming across the sky. I had time to pull off at the top of the mountain at a brake test area. At which time I climbed to the highest area I could climb to.

Upon my observation platform (rock) I was able to watch the ball of fire approach me. As it grew near I could see that it was a structure that was a saucer shaped. Fire was shooting from the portholes outside of the rim of the craft. It looked like a wheel spinning around the outside of the craft.

I got the feeling that the craft was in trouble it made no noise and I felt no heat. It was moving approx. 20-30-MPH Just putting. It traveled over the top of my head just putting going very slow. I was able to see the portholes where fire was emerging. I watched the vehicle travel 20-30MPH creeping along the mountains.

After I lost sight of the vehicle I returned to my truck and continued my journey. When I reached Barstow, CA, the next morning, I listened to a local radio station. The radio said people from California- New Mexico had seen the object. The US Air Force said it was a Russian booster rocket had re-entered the atmosphere and burnt up. I witnessed this object in controlled flight. It slowly made its way NE along the mountains. I was able to make out details of the bottom and sides of the vehicle because it was only 100-150 feet above me. I heard no sound and there was no heat.

The next morning the Barstow radio station announced that it was a Russian booster rocket that had blown up. I know that it was not a Russian booster rocket. I had a feeing that it was in trouble. I am not an artist but I can describe what it looked like. Had it not been so close I would not be able to give a description of it. I know there were other people that saw it but I was so awe struck that I didn't know if anyone else was around. I have never seen this kind of technology since. If you want a picture I would have to find an! artist that could draw. But it was basically a wheel rotating around the perimeter of the main craft. Craft being about 50-75 ft.

I Thank you for listening to me.
