Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | I was merging onto the PA Turnpike westbound when a bright green light above and to my left attracted my attention. I said, \"What the heck is that?\" to my dog. The light lasted longer than that. It seemed almost to be moving straight downward and then disappeared while still above any obstructions. Jupiter and stars were visible, even from my car in traffic. Azimuths calculated from Google Maps of the Bensalem entrance to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. |
