| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I cannot say for certain how high up the object originated. I saw it while driving. I had stopped for a stop sign (facing roughly north), and saw the object out my side window when I looked left to check for oncoming traffic. It was rather large (larger than any other star in the sky - about four times the size of venus) with a short blue green tail. It was moving very quickly down towards the horizon, slightly right to left. I lost sight of it behind the buildings lining the road, but did not hear any sound, nor see any other flashes of light. |
