A large, spherical object slowly descended through the sky in a diagonal until it disappeared behind the tree line. It glowed in a bright fluorescent green.
I am a 23-year-old, full-time college student majoring in psychology at Middle Tennessee State University. I live in Smyrna, Tennessee--about 30 miles southeast of Nashville. On March 9, around 9:00pm CST, in the western sky, I saw a large, spherical object slowly descend in a diagonal until it disappeared behind the tree line. It was BRIGHT--a fluorescent green so bright it almost appeared white. It was LARGE--much larger than anything I have ever seen traverse the sky. Most unusual, though, it descended the sky relatively slowly--much slower than any shooting star that I have seen. I saw the object for 3 or 4 seconds. When it descended below the tree line, I expected to hear a "boom" or something--I thought that it might have been an burning airplane. Local news gave no mention of the event.
