| Name | David V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was an afterburner, as nas fentress is nearby, but it was so low and I didn't hear a sound, so I thought maybe a firework, but no change in trajectory as it crossed the highway. Then it pixels out, no off trajectory sparkling, just pixels out on trajectory. It glowed bright green, not blue like an f18 afterburner. I was stunned in that, from my perception, it was so low off of the ground. |
