| Name | Megan H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Leaving work in Wayland, MI and 100% mentally present around 11pm, saw huge green fireball streak Eastern sky and disappear behind tree line appearing to "crash" into earth. Asked others if seen, but no one else around. No sound. No clouds or visual obstruction. Very strange. 36 years and have never seen anything like it. Definite trajectory/ falling, and not something flying independently like a plane. |
