Reports Report 1554b (Event 1554-2017)

Observer
Name Dan P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It looked less like a fireball and more like a wide traveling blueish green flame or 3 of them close together. Faster than any plane I have seen yet slower than any meteorites and it did a little zig zag sort of just before disappearing behind some clouds.. I was talking to the neighbour and he saw the last little bit of it before it was gone..
