| Name | Kerstin L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As I have no observational experience, I did my best to answer your question prompts accurately but have low confidence in my ability to estimate the event's characteristics precisely. I observed this event while standing in a circle with 10 friends (waiting for the best tacos in the West). I alerted my friends, but by the time they looked up, the object's trajectory was obscured by the 2-story building in the neighboring lot. I didn't see the object's termination. I would estimate that 1 saw about 3 seconds of the object's trajectory, it had a tinge of yellow or green color followed by a bright white tail. |
