| Name | Christy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car at the time I saw it, driving down Hwy 121 from Murray to Farmington, Ky. I do not know precisely location or time I saw it and didn't hear any sound from inside the car. It was the biggest "shooting star" I've ever seen and was amazed by the green color with bursts of purple! |
