Bemerkungen | This appeared large, close, and low compared to your average shooting stars, and it was unlike any shooting star I’ve ever seen before! It wasn’t merely a quick, thin light streaking briefly through the sky. It had body to it, and looked like a sparkly white firework w/a green glow-y tail, but it appeared suddenly w/no traceable origin (as opposed to a firework where you can see both its rise and fall), and was an isolated event. No other ‘fireworks’ appeared. I was going east on the Cumberland Parkway and was just driving onto Exit 62, I believe, in Russell Springs, KY, when I saw it at approximately 6:35 CST, below an almost full moon. It appeared to be a comet. I have never witnessed something so beautiful and remarkable, and it brought a tear to my eye. This was no ordinary falling star! |

Bemerkungen | It suddenly entered the sky from left dropping down right as a thick swath of very bright light and sparkles, much like a firework, followed by a green tail (like an aurora borealis behind it), and then it was gone. |
