Observer
Name Jayleen M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very fast and was very bright for a few seconds green then white. Which made it very noticeable. Had a small trail that was white before it went dark behind the tree line. I was driving at 55 mph and could tell it was very far away I was headed north east and it looked like it’s trajectory was east of me.
