Reports Report 6756c (Event 6756-2019)

| Name | Dmitriy A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought it was a firework, but there was no sound and the angle was all wrong. It looked like a green Roman candle entering the atmosphere, not a firework exiting from the ground. The whole thing lasted approximately 1 second maybe one and a half. It showed up as a pin point light a quarter the size of a full moon, then flashed white and immediately turned a green/dark green color and disappeared. At the time I was pulling into a Walmart parking lot, and it was the size of a quarter in my upper right hand passengers side windshield. It was surprisingly bright given I was about to enter a parking lot with regular periodic floodlights. Please let me know if anything comes from this! |
