| Name | Jamie J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Driving east on route 22, it came into my view slightly toward the top half of my windshield to my Right. I watched it move to the left "over" the highway and out of view out the drivers side window. It was so big and bright green with sparks flying off of it, my husband thought it was some sort of a firework shot over the highway. It moved slowly enough that I had time to say "check that out, guys!" And point it out to my husband and daughter who both witnessed it. Wow! |
