Reports Report 872a (Event 872-2010)

Observer
Name Jennifer
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was traveling northbound on US-235 (Broadway Extension) in Oklahoma City, when I saw the object. It was to my left (west) and was headed in a N/NEasterly direction. It had a greenish yellow glow and appeared quite large, much larger than any other space object I have seen, with the exception of the moon. I first saw it about 60 degrees to my left (west) and when it disappeared (no blast), it was approximately 80 from the horizonline to the north. It lasted about 15 seconds. This occurred on the night of the Gemininds, but according to some, was too early in the evening to have been one.
