Traveling "Stars"
Actually, I'm reporting two similar events..
The first occurance was when my family was moving into this house..so it would be around the summer of '93..my parents and grandparents were moving boxes downstairs around 7 or 8pm, so I went to follow them..on the way, I looked out the window on our side door toward the Northwest field and saw a bright light..it looked like a moving star..normally if it was a plane, I'd ignore it, but this light was too low in the sky and traveling faster than a hellicopter and slower than a plane..usually if a plane or hellicopter passes by that close, we can hear it though out the house because the sound often echoes..but this was silent and we even had the outside door open..I watched it move from west to east and eventually lost sight of it behind a house..
The other occurance was in '97 or '98..My dad was out on a fishing trip and my mom was sleeping on the couch..I happened to look out the window of our family room around 9pm..the curtains weren't open all of the way, but I got a good view of this light..it was just like the other one, but it was closer (almost felt that it was above the neighbor's house) and orange..I listened for normal plane and hellecopter sounds, but there were none..I was looking West out the window and had to move to keep the "star" looking thing in my sight..it traveled from North to South..
These lights scared me a lot at the time, making me not want to look outside because I might see them again..my parents and I always joke about if it has flashing lights, it's not a UFO, it's a plane or hellicopter, so it was weird when these lights never blinked or never had more than one single light on it..I also looked outside for more stars, but these were cloudy nights..
Ashville is right over an underground river..I've read that that could cause our Geomagnetic Fields to be higher than usual, which might create some kind of light phenomenon..I'm not sure if it's that because these looked more like vehicles than something to do with air particles..
