| Name | Travis R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As I was driving home from work at about 00:55 on the Route 1 bridge crossing the Passagasawaukeag River, the sky suddenly lit up with a greenish colored light. I looked behind, and saw what looked like something breaking apart as it entered the atmosphere. There were white lights almost like fireworks that then disappeared. |
