| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be descending towards the streets Castlewood or Lawrence Ave. I was walking my dog at the time and we tried to hustle over that way to see if we could locate anything, but no luck. Sometimes, people shoot off fireworks in the area, but this was a large green ball that descended fast with a blue and white glow behind it, and didn't "drop" in the same way I've seen fireworks burn-offs drop. |
