| Name | Michelle S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from work, eastbound on I 280 at about 8:45-8:50 pm and saw a bright green glow streak across the sky in front of me. Must have been several miles away but I'm not sure. it sort of appeared straight ahead and went downwards to my right. It lasted maybe a total of 1-2 seconds. It was bright green in color almost day-glo green, and there was just an elongation of it that I guess you could call a tail. I've never seen anything like this before. |
