| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Hello my husband and I were in the car on our way home from Grand Rapids MI at 6 pm on December 26th 2016 (By cascade apartments) when we saw a green fast shooting star light? No sure if it was comet, meteor, fireball? In the sky. I wanted to do some research because we have never seen anything like it that and everything was coming up as a fireball? It told me to report and to go to your website. If have any more questions please email. |
