|---|---|
| Name | Frankie E |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was about the size and brightness of the headlight of an oncoming car, but bright green. I saw it out the right corner of my windshield. I was driving through a valley, it was so low and big that I wondered if it landed in the hills. I may have heard a sound, but can't be positive. |
