Witness Testimony

"Green Fireball-Upper Peninsula of MichiganThe object was lime-green perfectly spherical. It flickered like a fire.The object followed the coastline from Little Presque Isle to Garlic Island (6 miles).The object took roughly 3 minutes to cover this distance, so I estimate that it was travelling at 120mph. It was only 200 feet off the coast at an altitude of between 80-90ft.It was no larger than a small car.The object made no noise.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))"
