Figure eight flying light over Asheville
As I was leaving work I was driving the stretch of highway between Oteen and Swannanoa headed home. I was the only car on the road for the time. I noticed movement in the sky, so I slowed down to get a better look. I saw what I first thought could have been an low flying airplane or a helicopter, then my view was obstructed by some trees hanging off a cliff where the road curves around.
As I rounded the curve I looked back at the object and noticed that it was moving in a figure eight pattern. I slowed even more to get an even better look at it. Then it took off in a streak of light at an angle but upwards into space.
The object was too far for me to make out any details, but it emitted a brilliant white light. I would say that it was spherical or circular in shape from the shape of the light I saw.
