Reports Report 1439em (Event 1439-2019)

Observer
Name Casey H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This fireball appeared to be just above the tree line when I first saw it, the brightness is what caught my attention in the corner of my eye and I turned in just enough time to see this big bright round almost fluorescent green fireball before it went behind the tree line. My husband also saw it and described it the same exact way.
