Observer
Name Laura C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks No sound although seemed very large and close. Was outside at the pool and it appeared to be almost as large as the moon tonight. The green color reminded me of the scene in pirates of the Caribbean when the sun hit the horizon line and went green. Totally dark sky
