3.75 min. | 4.37 user rating		 My son and I were camping out in the backyard the night of July 3 2009. At approximately 10:30 pm we went to bed and I noticed a huge bright red light through the mesh door of the tent. So I fumbled around in my backpack for the video camera, unzipped the tent door and about 20 seconds after I first saw it I started filming. The bright red light moved slowly southward, then a white light emerged and went up from it. I tried to follow the white light with the camera, but it was really hard to see in my small viewfinder, hence the jerky camera. Shortly after the white light emerged, the red light blinked off while the white light went south at a pace that was about 3x faster than the red light had been traveling, then it faded and disappeared completely. I'm not sure what this is, but I don't think it could be one of those flare/balloon hoaxes due to the increased speed of the white light. You can get a feel of the speed based on the silhouette of the plant in the final frames. Also, there was no wind that night. At any rate, it was pretty cool to see something like this in the sky. If anyone has seen something similar please comment about it. I'm curious about what this could be.

They played at a neutral site which was Easley. Daniel Lions were up 24, yea 24 points at one point in the 2nd half but Greers's Chandler hash, and Chris Dean stepped up and upsets the Daniel Lions with a nail bitter. Final score was 88-86, Greer, continued on to play in the upper state game against JL Mann and won the game, but there streak ended with a loss to Camden in the State Championship game.
