Observer
Name Bob B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving a minivan near the crest of highway RT. 1 (northbound) when it caught my attention in the distance above the neighborhood treeline. Once it fell below the treeline I lost visual contact. I rolled down the windows to listen but didn't hear anything. It did have a dark green tail.
