| Name | Michelle F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Given the trajectory and the elevation where it was heading it had to have ended up within 1/4 mile of where I last saw it. It was very different than any I've ever seen because it was lower and much larger, compared to others I've seen I would call the green light "Giant" sized and it had a tail the entire time I saw it. I don't know if there was an actual sound from it but I suspect there was because I am hearing impaired so I'd never hear it anyway but my dog suddenly looked that direction and ran to the house just as it flashed, I could tell she heard something that scared her. |
