Observer
NameKeegan B
Experience Level3/5
RemarksWe were driving home at night going south on Highway 36 when around 11:20 p.m. my family and I saw a glowing light green/light blue burning object with white smoke around it and behind it; it was right above the trees beside us on the right side of the road. It looked very close to us, so close it kind of scared us since we have never seen something coming down with this color so close, only white shooting stars far up in the sky. As bright as it was glowing/burning and as close to how it looked right above the trees, it definitely makes me think that it could have actually landed somewhere within the trees on the right side of the road not far from where we were driving.
