On the mentioned date, I was with a friend of mine at a local overlook area called Washington Rock. It was shortly after sunset.

We were standing there looking down at the cities below us and my attention then went to the horizon towards the south and slightly west (ssw I guess).  I saw what looked like two moving stars in the sky above the horizon.  One was white in color the other red.  
I pointed this out to my friend who also saw the sight.  The two objects were moving rapidly towards the ground.  When they reached the ground there was a flash and one of the objects flew rapidly upward and away, the other object had disappeared.  The objects were definitely far from our location, probably hundreds of miles away, if not thousands. 
I was 22 at the time of the siting and have since lost contact with the individual that shared the experience with me.
Date of sighting may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.  PD
