| Remarks | My son and I were driving back from his practice when we saw a bright, blazing green object fall from the sky. It was fairly large and glowing intensely. It looked like it was heading toward the area near Topsail Beach, NC. The color and brightness caught our attention immediately—it didn’t look like a regular shooting star. It was fast but big enough to leave a lasting impression. We’re curious if anyone else saw it or if it landed somewhere nearby. |
