| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The sky was dark and we were driving right towards it so we got a great observation! It looked large, like possibly as big as me, the centre was sort of a cross between a mint green and a lime green and glowed, and was surrounded by an aura of white glowing light. It appeared out of nowhere low in the sky, very close to us, looked like it was over the field on our right behind some houses just up ahead from us. It appeared, seemed to pause for a second and pulse (glow brighter for a second) then began to drop STRAIGHT DOWN, with a bright glowing trail of about the same colours following it down. This is a spot marked on the map where it looked to us like it would have landed Dropped pin https://goo.gl/maps/pFfjs5jMWBU2 |
