| Name | Jeffrey |

| Remarks | It may have been large enough to produce a radar track. If you contact whoever monitors the local airspace over my area in Ohio and get an approximate coordinate location, I would like to try to find any remnants via GPS. |

| Remarks | Green head with white particulate ejecta from a fairly short train. Almost appearing as a green firework, but it wasn\'t a firework. It came almost straight down, relative to our position, and at a fairly high rate of speed. I would estimate the size to probably be in the \"bowling ball\" to \"grapefruit\" size. I imagine a portion of it survived impact. |
