Green Fireball over Kenohsa
ok, I just found this site. I thought I would take a look through the past reports to see if anyone else reported this. I guess there was. 8^) Commute milwaukee to chicago every weekday and usually get to see lots of crazy stuff on I94. Most of it makes for a funny story. On a particular night last year, I was driving north on 94 about 1/2 way through Kenosha county and noticed a green ball of light traveling pretty fast over what appeard to probably east enough to have been over the lake Michican shore line. It was leaving a pretty long trail, of hazy smoke that I thought had a greenish tint to it as well. The oblect itself was quite bright as it was dusk and it was very easy to see from the road. It was also very unmistakebly a very emerald green color. At first I thought it might be a satalite burning up on re-entry. But it plain old seemed to big for that. I watched it for about a minute and then looked back at the road, when I looked back up it was gone ( I assumed it burned up ) It was headed roughly 340 degrees ( Compass ) from my perspective it was around 80 degrees above the horizon, I would guess the alt at roughtly 15 thousand feet. It was definatly moveing fast. What I find interesting is that the other reports involve it being visible from dramticly different areas, and running in different directions. I have retold the story enough since that night to keep the details pretty solid. Especially the color the trail and the direction it was running and where I was when I saw it.
