Green sphere visible over I-81 North in Roanoke County, Virginia at about 18:30 on December 23rd.
I was driving down interstate 81 north and was admiring the moon. The sky was clear.
Suddenly, a bright green orb with a short white tail flashed across the sky right under the moon. It was much larger than surrounding stars and visible planets and was much larger than comets I have seen.
It was visible for only a second and then vanished without even leaving a trail.
I have witnessed airplanes and meteor showers, but this object was very large, it appeared to be about a tenth of the size of the moon, and did not continue in a straight path for as long as a falling star or airplane would.
My sister, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the time, also saw the object.
There were no nearby cars whose headlights could have been mistaken for reflecting the appearance of such an apparition.
