Name | Julie M |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | This occured at what seemed to be eye level. I was across the street at the Largo Motel when I felt something that caused me to look across the street (Hwy 60). This phenomenon began with a red cylinder that just appeared out of the darkness and seemed to be only about 10 feet high. The red turned into a bright green cylinder and then a bright green ball formed. It disappeared without a sound even though it seems to have reached the ground. There was no disturbance on the ground. The exact location was directly behind, above and then below the sign at the old gas station across the street from the motel. It happened much too quickly to get a photo. I wish I had been wearing a Gopro. I had no idea what it was, but it was so spectacular that I looked it up on the Interent when I got home. |
