Observer
Name Joseph R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was traveling eastbound on interstate 80 at 72nd street. The object appeared high and to my left, north. It tracked east by southeast. It was a brilliant light green and small, about one fifth the diameter of a full moon at its brightest. It had a short white tail about the lenght of a full moon width. From my point of view it faded about 10 degrees south of east near the eastern horizon. A piece broke off just before it all faded.
