Reports Report 4350bz (Event 4350-2018)

Observer
Name Ryley B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I am not exact about the time but it was BIG and green last night. I was amazed and a little scared. My husband yelled "look at that!" When I looked up I saw it! That was my second time seeing a flash of green light. The first time I was in high school and I thought I had saw an alien spacecraft! Haha. As an adult I realize there is a more logical and common explaination. After googling a little I found a place to report it. I'm very curious to know more about what I saw.
