| Observer | |

| Name | Laurie P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was a flying drone at first! I was driving when I saw it towards the top of my windshield going left to right, I wish I could have stopped to see what happened to it but it left my view of vision after 10 seconds or so … it looked like a bright light green light traveling fast leaving a glowing white trail behind it , and it kept splitting off in to multiple pieces almost like a firework ; the speed at which it was flying and how straight it was flying made me think it was a drone at first |
