Reports Report 3664a (Event 3664-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kristeen I |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It wasn’t going very fast. Which I thought was odd. It momentarily got significantly brighter right before it fizzled out. I saw the object to my right, as I was driving south on route 219 in Springville NY. It stunned me for a moment, as I have never seen anything quite as big and bright as this in the night sky. It was bright neon green, and beautiful. Something I’m glad I got to witness. The object only lasted maybe 2 seconds, 3 at the very most. |
