| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Amy D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving on the highway at 60 mph or so. It appeared directly over our car, so we didn't see the fireball itself until it was well off to the left. The whole sky lit up bright green when it appeared, which is why we were looking up out the windows. It was eerily silent. |
