| Name | Jessica B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south down Colley Ave. The "fireball" was traveling west to east. Had a light blue/light green glow. No noticeable tailing following it. Reminded me of seeing a plane reach a sonic boom without the noise. I saw the fireball travel west to east for approximately 2-5 seconds prior to making a right hand turn onto Southampton Ave. The fireball was approximately 45 degree elevation from ground level. No noise was heard. Traveled very fast. Faster than an airplane would at that altitude/within city limits. High military presence in the area, but did not appear to be a fighter jet, which would the closest thing regarding speed and "sonic boom" appearance the object had while traveling, however I don't think it was fighter jet due the coloration and lack of noise. |
