| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | DOUGLAS S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Very similar to a dark-green, large-bulb, Christmas tree light from about 35 feet away. While driving 30mph in the northbound lane the object caught my attention as it appeared into the upper portion of my windshield. Surrounding a brighter circular center was an almost square, turquoise glow. It seemed to have a tail that was 5x the size of the object. I also wondered if it was close to being above the Bluegrass Airport in Lexington, KY when it finally dimmed just above the tree-line. |
