Size of Object(s)1/8 the size of a full moon Distance to Object(s) & Altitude30 - 40 miles Shape of Object(s)oblong oval Color of Object(s):vibrant green Full Description & DetailsI was looking out my window facing northeast when a large bright green flash suddenly appeared in the sky. It was traveling southeast and resembled a shooting star, only it was much much bigger (like the size of a small planet rather than a star) and was vibrant green. I thought it might be fireworks but there was no "explosion" or "ending" to it. it simply appeared and then disappeared after a couple of seconds. I live approximately 30 miles west of the Cascades, and the green light appeared to be no further away than the mountain range. I saw a shooting star in the same location last week, but it was traveling the opposite direction. This flash of green could not have been the "green flash" that is seen at sunset and sunrise because when I saw the green light, the sun set already set (about 5:42) and I witnessed this at 7:15 p.m. Plus, it was not traveling or "hanging" in the west sky but was in the northeast. Also, It was traveling too fast to be an airplane and it was too big to be a light on an airplance. It just flashed into my range of vision and a couple of seconds later, it disappeared. Almost seemed like it enter the Earth's atmosphere for a couple of seconds and then exited the atmosphere. Truly amazing!
