Date of Sighting: May 16, 2010
Time of Sighting: Midnight EDT
Location of Sighting: Panama City, Florida (See Map)

Description: Listen to Witness Report (MP3)

The witnesses were on their balcony relaxing and saw a bright green cylindrical object streak across the sky. The object streaked across the sky in about 1/2 second. The object was below the clouds. The object was described as a "Giant Glow Stick." No sound was heard.

Note: I doubt if this object was a meteor because no trail was seen and weather conditions were somewhat inclement (foggy conditions) with visibilities less than one mile noted at the time of the sighting. Also meteors would not have a distinctive shape (cylindrical) and would be more of the "fireball" variety.

The witness said that they were watching stars. This could be construed as conflicting with her statement that the object was below the clouds. However, the fog was likely localized and some stars could have been visible between fog patches.
