Reports Report 308b (Event 308-2018)

| Name | Simmons A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was lying in bed looking south out of my window when I saw a very bright green light with a green tail head toward the ground, almost vertical. It lasted about 2 seconds. I have seen many shooting stars and that's what it looked like, only the tail seemed very thick and was a very bright green and it also looked quite close to the ground. I have never seen a green shooting star before. It also looked like a firework but it was heading down, not up and again, was almost vertical. Questions 5-7 may be a little sketchy. I didn't really understand question 5. I would be very interested to hear if you have any information. |
