Observer
Name Cathy J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I am a truck driver and was traveling EB on I20. I would guess my location was around Anniston exit.. I saw the bright green and bright yellow tail fly downward at a high rate of speed, across the interstate (south to north) and disappear into the trees on the north side of I20. It was unexpected and happened so fast.
