| Name | Ivory B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on I-85 N. The object looked like a green light, like the light on an airplane, but WAY too fast to be a plane. It came into view at the top of the windshield. It disappeared as if the light had just turned off. Hard to say if it lasted a whole second. As shooting stars go, it was a very long visible path. |
