My first reaction was "ridiculous!". But, after a careful study of the video at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/09/national/main7036716.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody http://preview.tinyurl.com/23pl4n7 I would have to agree. Once my mind got around the concept that the object was "coming my way", it was obvious. I believe one can see the red/green strobes at 0:42-0:48. Since the video stops shortly thereafter, I would suspect that the videographer has produced a hoax, as further observation would have removed any mystery.
