|---|---|
| Name | Ken W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife and I both witnessed what we thought was a rocket heading downward towards the McAllen Airport and went from a bright white to a green fireball which dissolved in the air! It was like a single bolt of fireworks but speeding beyond any aircraft speeds we witness around the airport! |
