Full Report Text:
Brief what appeared to be a shooting star, Bright green in color, and very close, and very brief. While standing on the patio of place of employment here in Chandler, several of us where there in a smoking area. While speaking to an individual there, I watched him light up and the surrounding area with a bright green light.
very similiar to that of the glow of fireworks or a flare overhead. I turned quickly to see what looked like a large bright green "shooting star" quickly extinguish. Behind it was a streak of what looked like smoke approx.
a hands length if you held out your arm all the way above you and looked at your hand. Everyone out there stopped their conversations, and all commented on how close, and bright that "shooting star" was. We had all seen shooting stars before, however; I can not ever in my life ever seeing one so bright, close, let alone green.
I wished to send you this information. I have heard of these "green fireballs" lately, and I really do not know if it was "UFO", or just another falling piece of the heavens. Maybe someone else out there say it too??.

UFO drops liquid mettalics into my yard. All I know was there was a glowing (white and yellow light) sphere levitating/flying that I could see outside. The object was moving back and forth, remaining over my home and backyard tree.
It was as though there was a giant lightbulb in the air. From my point of view, the light was as big as a large tire. It was so bright that it lit up every inch of the tree that it was near.
The air was just so still and unmoving, there was no wind. There was no sound, it was an uncanny silence. Something wasn't right.
There was also a vibration that seemed to be shooting down upon my house with such a force that the cement floor beneath me vibrated. The area was suddenly cast with a red glow and then it was gone. Everything was back to normal.
What I had thought had only been a few minutes, turned out to be almost a half hour. That spooked me. The next day when I awoke, I thought it was just a vivid dream.
I walked outside and was throwing out birdseed for the birds, I noticed little droplets of metallics in the backyard. Not one or two droplets but 5-6. Stuff like that would never be in our backyard, and no one knew where they had came from.
But the really strange thing was; was that the droplets must of been melted/hot when they fell in my backyard, because some had dried attached to something. I heard once from an UFO report that people have seen UFO dripping metal, like the ships were melting. What I really remember is.
I wasn't scared. ((NUFORC Note: We will invite the witness to submit samples to NUFORC, and we will report on our attempts at obtaining the evidence. PD)).
