| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my work truck and it literally appeared out of no where as if someone turned on a bright green light like 1000ft up. Then fell straight down a couple hundred feet, disappeared, reappeared like 400 feet from the ground then stayed lit up all the way to the ground. Did not hit anywhere close to me. |
