| Name | Crystal N |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I see shooting stars often because I'm a delivery driver. This one was far larger (or closer to the ground) and bright green and moving way faster. I was startled for a moment, remembering reading about missiles. But quickly decided this was no missile, because I know the green color is from some elemental burning, maybe copper. I wasn't going to report it until I saw the news making a big deal out of the one that crashed in Ohio. I just wanted you to know, the Ohio one wasn't coming in alone. Because I'm East of Ohio by far and this one was headed northeast (I think). |
