| Name | Frank C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was flying from Charlotte, NC to Allentown, PA, IVO Greensboro, NC when we observed a bright green object falling a ways in front of us. Both my son and I observed a large bright green oval object falling from the sky almost strait down, it seemed to disappear before hitting the ground. I reported the incident to Air Traffic Control, who later told me they had two calls confirming the sighting. Sorry I didn\'t get exact time or location, but it seems like others observed it as well. |
