| Remarks | I hope I am not duplicating this report. I had a problem with my Internet connection and I had to start over. I hope that my details weren't lost in the description of the fragmentation so if I am repeating this information again, I'm sorry. I just want to be sure you all know that what I saw was a neon green round ball that through my vision, was about the size of a pea. It went fairly quickly downward at an angle from right to left and broke apart into two or three smaller pieces, still remaining rather close together, faded instantly and completely disappeared. Not but a few seconds earlier, I was gathering items out of my car and I turned and started walking down the sidewalk when I saw it. I could have missed it completely! It was totally phenomenal and absolutely unforgettable!! |

| Remarks | It was a solid ball when I first saw it and as it continued its path from right to left at an angle downward, it separated or broke apart into two to three smaller pieces, still close together, and faded until it disappeared. |
