| Remarks | very bright light green, like a firework, lit up the sky as I was driving due west on the highway 118. Lit up the sky as streaking downward, then broke apart into 3-4 smaller fragments that disappeared from sight. I only SAW the last second or two of the flight, but could tell there was a longer duration by how it lit up the sky before I saw the "ball" overhead. |
