| Name | Tanya M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I\'m not positive that this wasn\'t some kind of bottle rocket, although no one was around and I didn\'t hear anything. It appeared to be too low in the sky and too large for what I\'ve ever known of \"shooting stars\". I thought it looked to be maybe 100 ft up, and if it were that high, the green glow would have been several inches in diameter, with a short orange-red tail that was possibly shorter than the main part and was tilted at an angle (like maybe 4 o\'clock on a watch). I thought the main part wasn\'t round, but had a star-shaped quality. It went over the road quickly and then seemed to disappear. |
