Reports Report 3638bck (Event 3638-2014)

Observer
Name Debbie H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was a lovely bright green shooting star that I later thought might have been a vertical firework. I'm glad to see that my first guess was right. It seemed to be slightly above the tree tops. I was driving and had to look up to see it so my seeing of it was interrupted and my guesses as to angles etc. are very rough estimates. Thanks!
