| Remarks | It was a glowing trail as it was still dark, the moon was full and to the right of the sky, the green ball came down and across to the left of the sky.It was pretty big green glowing ball with a yellowish then turning brighter tail. It was still dark so it like streaked across the sky going downward and all color disappeared. It was incredible and there was a haze around the moon and in the sky it came through.Just awesome! |
