Bright green round object quickly travelling east to west.

While camping, in sleeping bags watching sky. Companion was startled by seeing bright green (glow in the dark green) move across sky.

I did not see it and tried to explain that it could have been a meteor or satelite when it or a second appeared about 1 minute after the first and we both saw it. Appeared dime size, clearly round, moving east to west. Silent.

NUFORC Note:

Witness corrected the date to July 15, 1979, not 2006. The date in 1979 may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact. The witness describes self as a retired public employee, in a position with considerable responsibility. We suspect that the witness is a very good, and discriminating, observer. PD
