Reports Report 1298td (Event 1298-2017)

Observer
Name Nancy H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I initially saw out of my periphery while walking my dog and immediately turned due W to see the magnificent display. I have witnessed what I thought to be a comet once before but this was much brighter with a spectacular red/green tail. I can only replay in my mind's eye and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Glad I found this site. Hope I'm not the only one who was fortunate enough to witness it.
