The night of January 7th I spotted a very bright lime green firebal? streaking past our living room window. Irt was between 1st and 3rd magnatude. as I was inside with room lights on. I dashed to the door in time to see it vanish, but then shortly after there appared a very bright light just above the treetops across the field from us. This object slowly and silently moved off toward Three Rivers, MI. This object was only between a 1/4 mile and a half a mile away.
I have been an amateure astronomer for over thirty years and these two objects have me baffeled. I have seen all kindes of meteors, some leaving smoking trails, but not This lime green color. The second object was compleatly silent, I wish that I could have grabed my night vision scope, but it happened so fast. I could not see any shape or outline of eather object. In addition there were other aircraft in the area but none like this and flying just at treetop hight.
