| Name | Brian M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was dark when we were driving North on I-75 so being in a car, I could not hear anything. The object was either VERY far away such as in the atmosphere traveling at a VERY high rate of speed or it was very close and was some sort of a man made object such as fireworks. However, from our vantage point, the object appeared to be traveling down, as opposed to up such as what you would see from fireworks. Appeared to be a pretty green color with an orange / yellow "tail" on the backside from the direction of travel which appeared to be in the N/NE direction. Length of vision was approximately 1 to 2 seconds. |
