The object was marble sized held at arms length when it turned green. When my wife first saw it and it was yellow she thought it was a plane headlight. It disappeared behind the trees. But from the time it turned green to the time it went behind the trees it never dissipated intensity. Looked like it could’ve eventually hit the ground. The location is a guess but we were on interstate 40 a few minutes outside of cookeville headed towards Nashville.
