Reports Report 4158b (Event 4158-2020)

Observer
Name Kacy F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was beautiful and strange and I was caught totally off guard. My second “shooting star” in a couple weeks span (after only ever experiencing one other in my entire life, years and years ago) and this was so much more intense - I couldn’t place it at first.. but then it lasted so long and it was so bright and so green.
