Reports Report 3151rk (Event 3151-2019)

Observer
Name Carolyn B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My sister in law and I were sitting on the deck looking over the Atlantic and a bright flash of white to then green appeared and then trailed across the path of vision. At first I thought someone had put on a super bright spotlight on the corner of the house because it was so jilting in the darkness of the night. Being near the beach my second thought ( once realizing it wasn’t the spotlight) was maybe someone lit a type of firework on the beach that was aimed over our direct- it felt that low. But no noise accompanied it so my sister in law said it was a shooting star maybe. The green was bright and interesting as most photos we are now seeing show it to be white. Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo. Very cool to have seen it though !
