| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | there was unexplained bright,constant,glowing blue green light that moved around over what seemed to be where it went out of sight and proceeded to get @ 1 mile away from us and then slowly moved away in the direction it came from and I cant stress this enough was SILENT. Where sight of the meteor was lost I can only guess but seemed no more than ten miles. |
