Reports Report 2494e (Event 2494-2018)

| Name | Jeffrey P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home (due North) from work on Silhavy Rd. Was sitting at the Intersection waiting for the stoplight to change. A flash of greenish light in the sky to the Northwest of my location caught my attention. I observed it for a few seconds traveling very fast heading almost straight North, perhaps a bit Northeasterly, until it was obscured from my view by the horizon/buildings to my Northwest. I'm no astronomer, but I would guess that it may have ended up in Lake Michigan based on its trajectory. |
