Chevron over Hutchinson, KS

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was getting home around 1 am, and noticed what I thought was a plane with its landing lights on. It seemed strange though since it was pretty high up. When I got out of my car I noticed that it wasn't moving in the direction that a plane would if it was using its lights. It was also really high up, and there were no clouds in the sky for the light to be reflecting off of. I tried to take a video with snapchat, but you couldn't see it. I was able to get this picture from my phone's camera. I didn't stay outside to see what it did after the picture was taken. The object was moving down and slightly to the left relative to the picture.

Driving down Main St/6th headed North I looked over to my left a bit and noticed a green ball of light shooting across similar to a shooting star.

Has ANYONE on this sight ever reported anything like this? OR know if it was a natural phenomena or military device etc. Any info on this would be appreciated. I'm still in awe I saw an unidentified object in the sky last night! We had a 4.4 earthquake Sunday, the day before. Then 30 minutes after the quake, we saw 2 military choppers fly over. So that too is why I wonder if it could be night military craft. But I didn't get the feeling it was or was a meteor as it moved strategically irradically and hovered. Just stunned at the bizzarity we may not be alone and such phenomena in the sky never is directly explained. Did anyone else report or see this?
