| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My 8 year old son also it, and it was so bizarre it scared him. We both saw a quickly moving green pulsing ball of light that was very vibrant then faint then bright again all the while traveling along the same trajectory, bigger at first then the size diminishing as it went away from us on its path. It was definitely not a plane flying low. It was moving away from the airport, not towards it. A plane flying that close would have moved more slowly in the sky and probably be on its way to crashing. It was not at all like the meteors (Perseid meteor showers) we have watched yearly since 2020 nor like any of the dozens of “shooting stars” I’ve seen in my lifetime (I’m 46). |
