| Name | Amy G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It happened very quickly as I was heading northbound on I-75 this evening. I had never seen anything like it. It was very green and fast, but seemed to light up the entirety of the clouds it passed through (which reminded me of the heat lightning we have in the summer). I was in the driver seat and it was in the left side of my vision, so may have been northwest. |
