| Name | Darryl |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object caught my eye when I was sitting in my yard with friends. It appeared from behind my house, traveling approximately from north to south. I observed it for a second or two before it disappeared behind a neighbors house. I was struck by the bright green color. At my first glimpse, I thought of fireworks, but its shape, trajectory, velocity and endurance clearly ruled that out. The reported time is only approximate. I didn't think to check the time as it occurred. I am very curious if any one else saw this. |
