Observer
Name Michael W
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks One of the best I have ever seen. Looked like a green firework but was way too high up in the sky. Took me totally by surprise and wished I was not driving when I saw it as it may have made a sound but was unable to hear over the radio/highway noise.
