| Name | Jared W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving when I witnessed this object in the sky. The green light appeared in the sky and was very large, approximately the size of a nickel held at arms length, with a pale white trail at the start for about 3 seconds. Then the trail turned dark and smoky with bright orange sparks for 2 seconds. I did not notice a bright flash at the end, the green light just disappeared at the same time the smoke trail and sparks disappeared. |
