| Name | A K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Initially thought it was a firework but the trajectory was all wrong, and it never detonated like a firework. It was huge, and so bright, that if it was a firework, it would have been right in front of our car, but it was so slow moving, that it couldn't have been that close. It took the full (approximate) 4-5 seconds before it went from a yellowish white to a green color across about an eighth of our visual field, at a subtle downward angle. It looked like it was getting larger but perhaps this was fragmentation??? My husband and oldest daughter all saw it and we couldn't figure out what it was. |
