Observer
Name Eliana J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was stargazing facing the opposite direction when the meadow around me lit up for a moment as if there was a car coming. When I turned around, for a few seconds I saw a big bright ball with flames and green light coming of of it, before it disappeared behind the mountains. It was absolutely amazing!!

Remarks I was facing the opposite direction when the meadow around me lit up for a moment as if there was lightning or a car coming. When I turned around, I saw a bright green ball with a tail and flames coming of of it. The flash that made me turn around was so bright I think it must have been a terminal flash.
