| Remarks | as i was driving down route 28 on headed towards mashpee, cape cod, the sky got really bright as if lightning had struck right in front of me, and instantly a darker square object with a green aura surrounding it shot across the sky like a meteor would with a green trail behind it and It was very close to the point where I pulled over thinking it was going to strike up ahead and I would feel the explosion. Except there was no explosion no sound the orb along with the trail disappear almost as soon as it appeared. It followed a path horizontally across my car’s windshield and vanished. july 28th 2019. |
