Observer
Name Debbie O
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was heading south on US 31 and it looked like a green firework coming from the east. As is got closer to the ground it disappeared. It was bright green. I did t see any others just the green light. I looked to see if I saw any fireworks near by but it was 30 degrees on a Monday evening. Not a popular night or location for fireworks.
