Observer
Name Jim M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I thought I saw a firework. It was only the news article that made me think of it. I was driving south on North Valley Parkway near the Home Depot. It traveled left to right in my view looking south but was more vertical than horizontal. It had a green hue, hence my thought that it was a firework. I am not certain of the exact time I saw it. It was an estimation.
