| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The location I gave on the map is approximate. We were traveling home in the dark and I really wasn\'t paying attention to where we were. It was very impressive. We were pretty lucky to get to see it! Its green color reminded me of the pictures I\'ve seen of green northern lights. |

| Remarks | We saw what appeared to be a bright green airplane flying towards the road in a low position, parallel to the ground, on our right, in an approximate 1:00 position to us. It travelled for an impressive period of time when it suddenly turned a bright white, burned up, and disappeared. |
