4 people witness a green flare-like "shooting star" that sends chills to this day as to its origins.....
Me, my fiance and 2 of his friends were going to set up our base camp for our hike of Muddy Creek in Southern Utah when we saw what at first seemed like a meteorite or "falling star". (You see a lot of meteor showers in the desert.) However, what set this one apart was the slow way in which it moved and when the white/silver glow of the "meteor" was above us in the sky it lit up with a bright green "flare" that streaked across the sky above our heads and lit up the sky like it was daylight or neon fireworks. The entire episode lasted a little less than a minute and left us with chills trying to consider what it was or could have been. Having read several similar experiences, I wonder again what it was I saw this past summer in Southern Utah.
