Remarks (I couldn\'t get the directions on this map form to work), but it came from the West and headed East over my windshield. (I was heading South) It apppeared to \'land\' in the backyard of the Amish house, but I kept driving thinking maybe it was a flare gun. I realized that I have never seen a flare gun that was green, then a friend encouraged me to report it. It was very low. It came from above, but it would have had to have been shot from inside the woods because of where it came from. It did not come from high above the sky. The tail was a bright green and I saw it more than the rest of the \'object\'.
