Observer
Name Caitlin S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was inside because it was a little before 2am and my dog wanted to go out to potty so I was waiting for him. I walked up to the door and started tapping on the glass to get his attention and that’s when I saw the large ball of light, at first I thought it was a shooting star/meteor, but it was large and flashing green/yellow I think. It happened so fast that it’s hard to remember but it was definitely green lights. I only saw it for 3 or so seconds. Obviously my next thought was a UFO because it was much to large to be a shooting star. It was just so strange. Anyway, once it was in my line of vision(it came from like over the house) it continued to descend and into the trees in front of our house towards the lake. And just disappeared in the tree line and no longer saw any lights once it hit that area. I don’t know what it was, it could of been a “fireball” but I’m not sure. I’m only trying to explain what I know which isn’t a lot. It was dark obviously. And only a small bit of light from a light pole outside. Hope this helps..
