Green light streaking vertically towards Lake Michigan
A friend and I were sitting on the beach, talking and having a cigarette, at approximately 11:30 p.m. In mid sentence he said, "Hey! Look at that!" so I quick turned my head and observed a bright green light descending rapidly in a straight vertical line. The light faded before reaching the water, and travelled a distance of approximately 2 hand lengths with arm extended. It did not "explode" like a firework or a boat flare normally would. There were no boats visible on the lake at the time, and it was too far over the water to have been a firework launched from the shore. We also did not hear any sound come from the object.
It's possible that it may have been a meteor.
