| Name | Amanda A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'm new at this, but what I saw appeared to look like a leftover firework. It was extremely bright green fireball and had a smoky flaming tail. It almost appeared to pop up straight in the air but from right to left. About as far as it popped up on the right, it came down about half that distance on it's left. I live in the countryside on a ridge away from town lights and can see the stars VERY clearly most nights there is a clear sky. |
