Observer
Name Brian W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Looking out 18th floor window, very bright and green. Appeared to come straight down and swoop away from me directly northwest without touching down. Was watching tv at the time and I wasn't looking for it but it was too bright and close by to miss. I thought it would hit the ground but it curved up and away from me and disappeared. Just looking to see if others saw it.
