Reports Report 1185f (Event 1185-2018)

Observer
Name Tim M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I'm a outdoors person and this was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I've seen several of the white ones BUT very few colored ones. This was a beautiful emerald green. My wife and I both witnessed...sadly my granddaughter was looking the other way. This had to be close OR very large as there was NO mistake on what we seen. It was approx 1/8 of a scale between a star and a moon size. Large compared to most things seen entering.
