| Remarks | when taking my dogs outside i saw the 1st half to the west was white ball with white stream it was short lived maybe 3 or 4 secs, then it had a white burst at the end, i thought it was over still looking up around 3 sec later the 2nd half started coming towards my direction. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | 2nd half much closer to me started with white ball then came beautiful green trail 200ft long or more and wide as a tractor trailer it arched and went to the ground. this 2nd half lasted much longer maybe around 6 or 7 seconds. I kept listening for a crash then i listening for fire trucks and ambulances thinking it may have hit the housing developments but no sound, that was good. maybe it went into the wooded area or the end of the elementary school yard. |
