Green UFOs in the Sky? Mulitple Sightings of bright green objects were reported the same night, from Georgia to Japan, But what were they?
Multiple strange objects were spotted in the sky on Monday, reported by witnesses across the U.S. and even in Asia. On Monday night, more than 200 sightings of a bright greenish object in the sky were reported across 13 U.S. states and a similar object was spotted in Japan. The sightings were likely all different objects that happened to travel across the sky at around the same time. NASA has offered its explanations for each object, but do they explain the countless similar cases in the past? Monday night’s sightings are far from the first time these green lights have been spotted in the sky.
The first green object was reported after 6 p.m. on Monday more than 200 times in 13 states in the Eastern U.S., stretching from Ohio and Pennsylvania down to Georgia and South Carolina. In West Virginia, Benwood Police Department’s Sgt. Luke Thomas was able to capture the green fireball-like object streaking through the sky on his dash cam. What could it have been? Likely a meteor, according to Bill Cooke of the NASA Meteoroid Environment Office. That theory makes sense, given that the annual Taurid meteor shower is going on right now.
But Americans weren’t alone. Across the ocean, observatories in Kyushu, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Ehime, Japan recorded a similar green object flash through the sky. However, experts there say it’s likely that it was a bolide, an extremely bright shooting star.
