bright green triangular object throwing sparks traveling extremely fast

This event was probably space junk burning up in the atmosphere, but the intensity of the light, color, and speed of object were extraordinary. A shape was discernable. It was roughly an acute triangle with points of greater brightness. Color was bright green with gold overtones. Sparks were flying off the thing tangential to direction of movement. It traveled roughly from an 11:00 position to almost the horizon in a north-northeasterly direction. Color of sparks ranged from gold to dark red. It looked like it had a plasma surrounding it. Size: about 16 millimeters in length and about 4 or 5 millimeters in width at the widest as observed by the naked eye. There was also some structure evident in the shape itself with some longitudinal lines of brightness, almost a gold red, running through the basic shape. It was quite striking. I observed it from the driver's seat of my vehicle and was startled enough to come to a complete stop and contemplate what I had just seen.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded quite credible to us. PD
