| Name | Melissa |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this on top of Moose Mountain, at Lutsen Mountains Ski area in Lutsen, Minnesota. It was in the afternoon. I looked up and saw what I first thought was fireworks, but knew that it could not be because of my location. It lasted for a long time, probably 8-10 seconds. It was green and white and fragmented into three pieces before just burnt out. It seemed very close. |
