| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was working in my back yard by the garage facing south to south west, when I observed a large, bright green light in the sky travel east to west parallel to I-96. Lasted only seconds, perfect circle looked the size of a search light in the sky. From my angle it appeared in the sky low on the horizon at similar elevation to planes landing at Detroit Metro Airport but moving much faster. The light disappeared in the west of my view. |
