Observer
Name Russ U
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was a passenger in a vehicle traveling south on M15 from Bay City Mi. It was a bright white then turned into a bright green. It appeared to become larger as it traveled west to east. It also seemed to last longer and was much larger than typical “shooting stars” I have seen (Amature observer) in central and northern Michigan.
