Observer
Name Mary T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was an awesome sight and it moved really fast. First bright yellow and then as it headed downward a little light green. I was driving on Route 2 heading East and it appeared to my right peripheral vision a bit of an arc heading downward (going East with me) to the ground disappearing into residential area.
