| Name | Michael H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Driving NW, I was in passenger seat, looking out front windshield when object appeared, fatter than a typical 'shooting star', it moved in a dead straight path, plumb downward, seeming to have a trail, but no persistent leftover trail from my vantage point. To me, it first appeared whitish-yellow, then thickened to a light green, then burning out, with maybe a slight flare at the end. Quite a sight! |
