Observer
Name Alex W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My location during the sighting is approximate. Partial view was obstructed by a building. So from perspective it appeared in the sky from behind the building and was curving downward across the sky at a rate of speed I would attempt to estimate by saying it was traveling 12x faster than a commercial aircraft. Buffalo Niagara international airport is nearby so I see planes coming and going everyday. I’m speculating of course… but seeing as the object itself was green, and there are things that burn green like copper, so based on that logic the streak/tail would have green in it from the friction of entering the atmosphere at such speeds. What I saw didn’t have any green in the streak, the streak was bright white. I don’t want to say it seemed like it was flying, as if its course seemed deliberate, because I don’t have any evidence to support such claims. But for reasons unknown to me.. that’s how it seemed. I’m sure the airport picked it up on radar or some other kind of technology that we’re not allowed to know about lol. Send me an email if you figure out what it was. Or if you need any help slapping around an alien during interrogation.
