| Remarks | My first thought was that of a stray firework, angling downward instead of up... however the trail was strong, similarly greenish, and tapered backward from the object. The object, clearly glowing, vanished behind a line of trees from my view, and I was in a moving vehicle doing 50-55 MPH. I looked for the glow of flames or terminal flash in that general direction as I drove, but saw none, due to a blocked field of vision. |
