| Name | Melissa F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I did not see any fireworks or other flashes, just a bright white ball with a bright green tail trailing behind. It appeared to have gone out for a split second, then came back lower and a bit larger. Very cool! I’m not sure that I did the angles correctly in the form, so I’ll explain what I saw. I was driving north on Mingo, turning east onto 91st and it came out of the sky from the northeast down and in my direction. It almost looked like it was over St Francis Hospital, but could have been much farther away. |
