| Name | Keith H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east towards JAL, NM on hwy 128 when I saw the green light steak part way across the sky in front of me, from right to left. I texted a friend of mine right after it happened so I have a record of what time it was. I sent the text moments after, I don't know if I can check the location of the text when sent. I work nights outside and often see 'shooting stars.' This one was extremely bright and green, lasting maybe four seconds. I've never seen a green streak, nor one so bright. News from 'big country' about this event caught my eye this morning, Tuesday 28th. |
