Reports Report 4235ad (Event 4235-2017)

Observer
Name Stephen B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Brightest ‘shooting star’ I have ever seen in my life! Unlike anything I had seen. It was cold and dark and late and I looked up at exactly the right moment I guess. It was a beautiful blueish green and had a very wide path. There is cloud coverage here but this shined right through, or was possibly below the clouds.
