Observer
Name Dana W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving north on I75. Suddenly, the sky lit up green. I looked out my drivers side window towed the west and saw a teardrop shaped green and gold object. It appeared to be at tree top level. It appeared to be going straight downward. I could see the outline so clearly! I was astonished!
