Reports Report 1041d (Event 1041-2016)

Observer
Name Joseph D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was on Interstate 985 traveling almost due south at Approximately 00:40 on 3-14-2016 when I noticed an extremely bright neonish green flash that appeared south southeast of me at about 11:00 if I was looking at a clock. It lasted for 4 or 5 seconds but appeared to be moving really fast and seemed to be falling at about a 45° angle. This was quite amazing and was the first time I have ever encountered anything like this in my 50 years of living.
