Observer
Name Kayla B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks At first I thought it was a plane crashing but it was such a bright green color that I decided to search information on meteors online. Right after I saw it I did hear a lot of fire engine sirens around the area but I do live in the city limits and the fire station is only about 1-2miles away from my apartment
