A large, green ball of light streaked across the sky, and looked if it were going to crash into the ground
I was waiting for the bus home from work @ approximately 24:05. I was chatting with one of my co-workers, and I happened to glance to my left. A large, bright green ball of light with a green "tail" streaked across the sky at a very fast pace, moving downwards at a steep angle. It looked to me as though the ball would crash into the college campus located about 1/4 of a mile east up the road. I asked my co-worker if she had also seen the light, and she said that she had, but only for a few seconds. I kept waiting for the resounding crash that I was sure was coming when the "craft" would hit the earth, but I heard nothing. Initially, I thought it may have been a plane that was in some sort of trouble, but then, after I got on the bus, and my co-worker and I talked more about it, I realized that it might not have been just a plane. It made no noise whatsoever, and from where we were standing, it was not that far away that we wouldn't have heard the roar of the engine if it were a plane. I have just read another person's account of a similar ball of green light shooting towards the ground 2 years ago in Johnson City, NY, about 7 miles away from where I had my sighting, and that is what has really convinced me to share my experience.
((NUFORC Note: Witness corrected date of sighting. We have amended the date here. PD))

Dear Sir or Madam,
I sent a report to your office via email on 5/21/01 about a green "fireball" that I saw streak through the sky in Vestal, NY, USA. On the report form, I accidentally filled out the event date incorrectly as
4/02/2000, when the event actually happened around 4/02/2001. I just wanted to clear up my mistake. Thank you.
