| Name | John M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | While driving, what appeared to be a missile with a bluish-green (similar to burning copper as I recall) mushroom-like head, and long faint orange tail tracked at about a 15 degree angle downwards for just over 2 seconds, and in what looked like a due West direction. Noticeable immediately, as it looked like it was just a few miles away, unlike shooting stars. Waited for sound/smoke as it appeared to be a giant firework that was travelling in a direction a firework would never travel. |
