| Name | Jim B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my living room watching TV and saw a bright light above the horizon, but totally 'wrong' for a headlight. It's a rural area so not a lot of lights. I looked out the window to the north, and saw a BRIGHT green ball at a high rate of speed moving from the left side of the window traveling north/northeasterly heading somewhat farther north, towards the right side of the window, heading away from me (ie farther northeasterly direction). It had a light trail behind it, but I was more focused on the 'ball' and only noticed enough to notice that it had a greenish light trail behind it. Then it was gone. it was only a second or two. |
