| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cassandra K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Never seen anything like this, way different from regular shooting star. The green coloring made me think possibly a bolide. I saw no tail or typical comet shape, more circular, but it is cloudy tonight so maybe that is why.. |
