Witness Testimony

"Glowing bright green light/orb falling to earth from the starsIt was a clear night, not a cloud in the sky. We observed what we thought was a bright star as we were driving down the road, all of a sudden the bright light turned bright green and shot straight down into the woods near by. At first I thought it was a flare but there was NO arch on top. The object looked like an orb or a circular light. It didn't fall to the ground, it shot to the ground fast. It was the brightest green I have ever seen. My wife, both my children and myself saw this object. With-in a few seconds we saw an approaching aircraft flying towards the airport near our city, it appeared that the object was getting out of sight. This wasn't a firework or flare as we could tell, because of the straight line it made into the woods."
