Observer
Name Heather W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This object was a beautiful neon green, and i wished it had of lasted longer.Shaped like a teardrop and moved towards the narrow end of teardrop as it traveled thru the eastern sky for brief seconds. It seemed to be outlined with a bright yellowish/whitish edge. the color of the object reminded me of the halos that are sold locally during our Oktoberfest celebrations.
