| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Green, Pink and blue object had a short white and blue tail, main colour was green with flashes of pink. Just before the object hit the earth, there was a giant yellow flash then upon impact, the tree line of the whole \"true north\" direction exploded in an almost sunlight bright flash of orange that lasted about 2-5 seconds. It was one of the craziest most beautiful things i\'ve ever seen. This thing was HUGE! |
