| Name | Veronica M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting on the couch watching TV (facing east) and my large living room window (facing north) suddenly lit up, I turned to look and saw a huge orange, white, green light with a trail of green and orange heading north directly over my house. The sky light window is around 13feet x 6feet, and object seemed to 5th of the window. I thought it was a plane crashing, it looked so low. It moved through the window (heading north) and I lost sight within a couple of seconds. We ran outside but it was gone. |
