Reports Report 308a (Event 308-2020)

Observer
Name Joel P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Some details are unclear to me (such as the starting and ending point) because I was inside and saw it through a window. Also the time (00:30 AM) is approximate, since I didn't immediately look at a clock. The time is probably correct to within plus or minus 10 minutes. It was a very bright green.
