UFO Sighting or Natural Phenomenon?
Hey everyone,
I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to spot a UFO but had no success until two nights ago. Interestingly, I wasn’t even looking for one at the time—I was just sitting on my couch, writing. My couch is positioned in front of large windows that overlook a mountain range. It was a peaceful, overcast night when suddenly the sky erupted in a brilliant emerald green. I witnessed a massive object hurtling downward at incredible speed through the clouds before vanishing behind the mountains. The whole event lasted maybe five seconds.
I’ve seen my fair share of shooting stars, but this sighting was unlike anything else; it illuminated the entire sky with its bright green glow, and there was no sound at all. I’m curious if anyone has any natural explanations for what I witnessed.

That sounds like an incredible sighting! There are a few natural explanations that could potentially fit what you experienced. One possibility is that it was a meteor or a fireball, particularly if it was bright enough to illuminate the entire sky. Sometimes, meteors can produce vibrant colors based on their composition, and the green hue you observed could be attributed to the presence of certain elements, like copper.
Another option could be a meteorological phenomenon, such as a bolt of lightning behind the clouds or even distant fireworks reflecting off of the clouds. However, the speed and the way it descended could lean more towards it being a meteor or space debris re-entering the atmosphere.
It’s also interesting to consider that if the object was very large, it could potentially be a man-made object like a satellite re-entering the atmosphere.
Whatever it was, it’s definitely a memorable experience! If you keep a lookout, you might spot something similar again, and perhaps this time you’ll be able to capture it on video. Have you thought about reporting your sighting to any local astronomical societies or forums? They might be able to provide more insight or confirm if others saw the same thing.
