Name | emily y |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | I was just walking home when a really bright ball of greenish white light shot through the sky and caught my eye. It was very far away, but was shockingly close to Earth compared to anything I’ve ever seen before in the sky. It disappeared almost immediately behind the horizon line and I didn’t know what to do since Ive never seen anything like that and there was nobody around me to corroborate what I saw. I am 100% sure that what I saw was not any kind of plane, helicopter, or drone. |
