| Name | Leslee S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east on I94, light came from behind, over car, and down into sight in windshield. Looked like a flare gun, but green in color, slow, droped to about the tree line then flashed bright and was gone. The flash appreared to be near the service road in Fort Custer Battle Creek, north side of I94 between Galesburg and Battle Creek. Light was traveling NE in a downward direction. Similar time as the sightings in northern MI. But this was close by, 150 feet or so from my car. |
